This copy is exceptionally well-preserved, particularly given the fragility of its original paper wrapper format. The red covers remain striking and vibrant, exhibiting virtually no fading and retaining sharp, uncreased corners. The binding is remarkably tight and secure, showing no signs of rolling or spine wear, which is uncommonly good for a pamphlet of this age. Internally, the pages are wonderfully bright and crisp, entirely free from foxing or age-toning, ensuring a pristine text block that appears unread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a pleasing first edition, first impression of D.

H. Lawrence’s satirical poetry. Biting, defiant, and deeply cynical about British societal norms, the verses within, such as 'Innocent England,' serve as Lawrence's direct, unapologetic counter-attack against his critics, the police, and the rigid moralism of the 1920s establishment. It is a brilliant, concentrated burst of the author's late-career fury and unyielding literary spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55545525961043,"sku":"6359","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261015_121557.jpg?v=1792591805","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/nettles-d-h-lawrence-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
