D. H. Lawrence

Broschiertes Buch

ENGLAND, MY ENGLAND And Other Stories

Revised 2nd. ed. (Aziloth Books)

Beschreibung

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.

Autor

Born on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England, David Herbert Lawrence was the fourth child of a coal miner and a former schoolteacher. His upbringing in a working-class family deeply influenced his literary themes, particularly the tensions between industrialization and nature. Lawrence's early education and experiences in his hometown laid the foundation for his future works.In 1912, Lawrence met Frieda Weekley, with whom he eloped to Europe, marking the beginning of his extensive travels. This period saw the creation of some of his most significant novels, including Sons and Lovers (1913) and The Rainbow (1915), which explored complex human relationships and societal constraints. His candid portrayal of sexuality and critique of industrial society often led to controversy and censorship.Despite facing persecution and public misrepresentation, Lawrence continued to produce influential works across various genres. His final novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928), was notorious for its explicit content and faced numerous legal challenges. Lawrence's relentless exploration of human emotions and social norms has solidified his legacy as a pivotal figure in modernist literature.
