| Description: | Select Guide Rating Presents a collection of ten stories, which develops from early realism towards myth and fairy tale, murder, and ghost stories. This collection of short stories traces D. H. Lawrence''s development as a writer. His early tales often draw on personal experiences, as in ''Odour of Chrysanthemums'', a work he described as ''full of my childhood''s atmosphere'', while the horror of the First World War haunts ''England, My England''. Later stories, such as ''Things'', powerfully express his evolving ideas about the duality of our lives. With their complex characters, these stories illuminate emotional lives and, above all, illustrate Lawrence''s passionate belief about the destructive forces in modern society and their effect on love. |
