D.H.Larence The Early Fiction A Commentary [Hardcover]

Based on the Cambridge Edition of Lawrence's letters and works, this is a systematic study of his neglected early novels and short stories. Michael Black considers that these should be taken seriously as a representative part of Lawrence's entire output and demonstrates how they show originality. He places Lawrence in a new light as an artist, especially considering the relationship between his art and thought.Preface - Cue-Titles - The Criticism of Lawrence - Method - The White Peacock - The Trespasser - Short Stories 1: A Modern Lover, Shades of Spring, The Witch la Mode, Love among the Haystacks, Second Best - Sons and Lovers - Short Stories 2: Daughters of the Vicar, Odour of Chrysanthemums - Short Stories 3: The Prussian Officer, The Thorn in the Flesh - Short Stories 4: The White Stocking, New Eve and Old Adam - Notes - Index
