Description
This selection not only shows the wide-ranging nature of Lawrence's short stories, but also traces his development as a writer. His early stories often draw on personal experience, as in 'The Spades of Spring', a recreation of Lawrence's long love affair with Jessie Chambers. Above all, these stories illustrate Lawrence's passionate belief about the destructive forces in modern society and their effect on love between men and women.
