ENGLAND MY ENGLAND And Other Stories

<p>D. H. Lawrence’s skill at dissecting human emotions and conflicting thoughts lends a depth to his writings that few modern writers can match. His innovative application of the “school of realism” gives his characters’ internal reflections a searing authenticity which is borne out with great effect in this collection of short stories.</p><p>Selected from works he had originally published in magazines and periodicals between 1913 and 1921 the stories are set in the post-Edwardian period many against the background of WWI. After extensive revision the anthology was published in 1922 under the title <em>England My England.</em></p><p>Lawrence’s prolific output – novels short stories poems plays and essays to name a few – was often contentious and earned him as much opprobrium at the time as it did credit but he is now acknowledged as one of the twentieth century’s masters of literature.</p>
