THE WHITE PEACOCK， published in 1911， Lawrence started the novel in 1906 and then rewrote it three times. The curly versions had the working title of Laconia.
It involves such Lawrcnrian themes as the damage associated with mismatched marriages， and the border country between town and country. A misanthropic gamekeeper makes an appearance， in some ways the prototype of Mellor's in Lawrence's last novel， Lady Chatterley's Lover. The book includes some notably de*ion of nature and the impact of inclustrialisation on the countryside and the town. Its provincialism may be compared with the novels of George Eliot and Thomas Hardy.
