Selected Short Stories of D.H. Lawrence

"D.H. Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter. Lawrence’s best-known short stories include The Captain’s Doll, The Fox, The Ladybird, Odour of Chrysanthemums, The Princess, The Rocking-Horse Winner, St. Mawr, The Virgin and the Gypsy and The Woman who Rode Away. Among his most praised collections is the Prussian Officer and Other Stories, published in 1914. His collection “The Women Who Rode Away and Other Stories”, published in 1928, develops his themes of leadership that he also explored in novels such as Kangaroo. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct. Lawrence is now valued by many as a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature."
