Short Fiction Lawrence, D. H.: Collected Short Stories V1. 29 June 2012

[Official Biography - courtesy of Wikipedia]

David Herbert Richards Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct.

D. H. Lawrence is probably best known today for his novels, in particular Lady Chatterly's Lover and the ridiculous 'obscenity' court case in the UK in 1960. For me personally, however, Lawrence's best work is in his short stories and in his poetry (which I will be posting some of soon). Where it becomes easy to see that the 'love wand' image of highbrow pornography is a gross mischaracterisation of his work.

I have been unable to find any good quality epubs of these collections, so I've had a go at putting some together myself. I hope others will find them of interest.

^ D'oh!

I searched for Lawrence and short (not stories)!

And I've just seen that you've only got 10 posts (presumably nearly all of them are these generous uploads) so that would have been another easy way to find them.

Thanks again.
