ENGLAND, MY ENGLAND And Other Stories

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.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, England, My England.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.
