The Fox D H Lawrence

The Fox is a novella by D. H. Lawrence. Set in Berkshire, England, during World War I, The Fox deals with the psychological relationships of three protagonists in a triangle of love and hatred. Without the help of any male laborers, Nellie March and Jill Banford struggle to maintain a marginal livelihood at the Bailey Farm. A fox has raged through the poultry, and although the women-particularly the more masculine Nellie-have tried to shoot the intruder, he seems always to elude traps or gunshot.
