This volume of seven stories includes the last fiction that D. H. Lawrence wrote. It is in his most mellow vein, and several of the stories at least should rank among his shorter masterpieces. The Rocking-Horse Winner is an amazing and uncanny study of childhood, with a feverish psychological twist that leaves the reader gasping; Rawdon's Roof gives the character of a man afraid of women; the title story and Mother and Daughter pursue one of Lawrence's favorite themes, the sinister conflict between parent and child. The others are chiefly domestic dramas - sketches or character studies…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
This volume of seven stories includes the last fiction that D. H. Lawrence wrote. It is in his most mellow vein, and several of the stories at least should rank among his shorter masterpieces. The Rocking-Horse Winner is an amazing and uncanny study of childhood, with a feverish psychological twist that leaves the reader gasping; Rawdon's Roof gives the character of a man afraid of women; the title story and Mother and Daughter pursue one of Lawrence's favorite themes, the sinister conflict between parent and child. The others are chiefly domestic dramas - sketches or character studies affording the author a new chance for his brilliant attack on the shortcomings of modern life.
Autorenporträt
David Herbert Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885. He was not only an important but also disputable English essayist of the 20th century. He was one of the main scholars of English Modernism. Lawrence was a skilled author who wrote several books, brief tales, sonnets, plays, papers, travel guides, artistic creations, interpretations, abstract analyses, and individual letters. Lawrence is remembered today for stretching the boundaries beyond what was regarded as satisfactory in abstract fiction whereas different Modernists such as Joyce and Woolf were content to radicalize the types of writing, Lawrence focused on extending the scope of the artistic topic. Specifically, he consolidated Freudian therapy, forthright portrayals of sexuality, and enchanted strict subjects into his works that were very unexpected and fresh to the crowds of his time. Even though he is regarded as one of the main figures in the early history of Modernism, Lawrence stays questionable. His monstrous result is famously lopsided and he never lived to the point of refining his views into reasonable thoughts. Different pundits mock Lawrence unequivocally and it is the case that a portion of his lesser works was composed more to stun than to illuminate the brain with the brightness of workmanship genuinely. Regardless, Lawrence was a virtuoso of the greatest request, and his most modern sonnets and books are among the most persuasive works of 20th-century writing.
