David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English writer and poet. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. Some of the issues Lawrence explores are sexuality, emotional health, vitality, spontaneity, and instinct.<P> Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his «savage pilgrimage». At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as «the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.» The philosopher Bertrand Russell characterised Lawrence as a proto-German Fascist. Later, the literary critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness.<P> This volume collects 13 classic short stories:<P> A MODERN LOVER<BR> HER TURN<BR> LOVE AMONG THE HAYSTACKS<BR> MOTHER AND DAUGHTER<BR> NEW EVE AND OLD ADAM<BR> RAWDON'S ROOF<BR>STRIKE-PAY<BR> THE BLUE MOCCASINS<BR> THE MORTAL COIL<BR> THE OLD ADAM<BR> THE OVERTONE<BR> THE PRINCESS<BR> THE WITCH A LA MODE<BR> THINGS<P> If you enjoy this ebook, don't forget to search your favorite ebook store for «Wildside Press Megapack» to see more of the 300+ volumes in this series, covering adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, westerns, ghost stories, science fiction – and much, much more!
Sons and Lovers
Torn between his passion for two women and his abiding attachment to his mother, young Paul Morel struggles with his desire to please everyone ― particularly himself. Lawrence's highly autobiographical novel unfolds against the backdrop of his native Nottinghamshire coal fields, amidst a working-class family dominated by a brutish father and a loving but overbearing mother. Lushly descriptive passages range from celebrations of natural beauty and sensual pleasures to searing indictments of the social blight engendered by industrialism. Essential reading for any study of 20th-century literature. Unabridged reprint of the classic 1913 edition.
