Escape brings together stories by two of the major British writers of the first part of the 20th century: James Joyce's Eveline and David Herbert Lawrence's The Fox. Both stories deal with the theme of women trapped in everyday life from which they dream of escaping, but in very different ways.
Both Joyce and Lawrence were master story-tellers and saw the potential of the short story and novelette for focussing on a woman's point of view with a new degree of intimacy.
