Because of his frank and honest portrayal of human sexuality in the controversial works for which he is best known, e.g. ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ and ‘Women in Love’, D. H. Lawrence was not widely respected in his day. In fact at the time of his death he was considered little more than a pornographer. However E. M. Forester challenged this portrayal calling Lawrence ‘The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation’, and with his extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization, Lawrence has ultimately secured his position as one of the greatest writers in the English language. This great literary talent is exhibited by the short stories collected within this volume which includes the complete contents of the individual short story volumes ‘The Prussian Officer and Other Stories’ and ‘England, My England’ as well as four additional stories.
