Product Description
Product Description
For the first time, all of D H Lawrence's sixty-seven short stories are collected in one volume. The settings range from the scenes of his Nottinghamshire boyhood and his teaching years to the world of his travels, but the stories always encompass the eternal in the particular. It was Lawrence's genius to mirror the joy of life and human sexuality in the small scenes of everyday living.
This volume contains such stories as, 'The Prussian Officer', as well as many lesser known works. They are arranged in order of writing so the development of Lawrence's life and creativity can be followed. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Essence of Wit and Wisdom
5 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
A great collection of short stories that describe the life of simple people, in simple circumstances, yet seen from extraordinary points of view. Stories that make you say, why didn't I see that ? There's a rhythm to the writing that makes it very close to poetry.

Approach with caution
7 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is for the Blackthorne Press edition of the Complete Short Stories, by D. H. Lawrence.
While I think this volume is a wonderful idea and highly recommend anything by D. H. Lawrence, I feel I should give some warning. While flipping through it, I found numerous type-setting errors, especially on pages 420 about halfway down, 422, and 423. Even the table of contents is poorly aligned. There are many more errors like this; these are just the ones I noticed first. The errors do not make it unreadable, but some may find them annoying.
