Mr Noon is a sardonic tale about the amorous adventures of Gilbert Noon, a young schoolmaster in Lawrence's home county of Nottinghamshire who gets entangled with a girl, loses his job, and decides to leave the country to escape the narrow provincial middle-class morality. It was first known as a long story posthumously published in A Modern Lover (1934) and collected in the volume called Phoenix II (1968). Lawrence in fact wrote a long continuation of the novel, but the manuscript disappeared for many years. The Cambridge edition brought the two parts together for the first time. It is like a sequel to Sons and Lovers, but much more straightforwardly autobiographical. The publication of the complete work added a new work of major importance to the canon of a great writer, and was widely hailed as a major literary event.

En 1912, David Herbert Lawrence rencontre celle qui, deux ans plus tard, va devenir sa femme : Frieda von Richtofen. Cette passion tourmentée, l'écrivain anglais l'avait racontée dans un récit demeuré introuvable, mais dont on connaissait le prologue. Plus de cinquante ans après la disparition de Lawrence, ce manuscrit, Mr. Noon, a été retrouvé et enfin publié. Très attendues par tous ceux qui s'attachent à l'oeuvre de l'un des plus grands romanciers de notre temps, ces pages inédites nous entraîment à la suite de Mr. Noon (c'est-à-dire D.H. Lawrence) et de Johanna (Frieda) au fil d'un périple amoureux qui les conduit d'Allemagne en Italie. Johanna étant mariée, sa famille s'oppose à cette relation scandaleuse. Les amants s'enfuient donc loin du monde, loin d'une société où résonnent déjà les bruits de bottes qui annoncent la Première Guerre mondiale. Au bout du voyage, au-delà de l'amour, ils trouveront le déchirement. D.H. Lawrence se révèle ici un impitoyable observateur de ses propres élans, de ses interrogations face à une femme dont l'âme lui échappe. Merveilleux récit essentiel à la connaissance de D.H. Lawrence, Mr. Noon brille de l'esprit et de l'humour d'un nostalgique qui traque son propre personnage comme pour lui faire avouer la seule vérité de l'existence : celle de l'amour, essence des conflits qui nous hantent.
