About the author

David Herbert Richards Lawrence was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism, and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct.

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." Later, the influential Cambridge critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence's fiction within the canonical "great tradition" of the English novel. He is now generally valued as a visionary thinker and a significant representative of modernism in English literature.

This is about the edition: seriously this edition is so bad. Every 5 pages or so I find words without gaps between them, no fullstops at end of sentences, and symbols like ">" randomly. Oh, and typos e v e r y w h e r e. Seriously, don't get this edition. I am sure there are other much better tomes containing D.H. Lawrence's works. This one sucks. It had been a while since I saw such bad editing.

Some examples: p. 796 "Well he lives near here, and I want to spend this last night with him must!"
when it should have been: "Well he lives near here, and I want to spend this last night with him. I must!"

Another (and one of the most weird): p.791 "Ben they came to the park, Connie strode ahead" where the correct is of course "When they came to the park, Connie strode ahead".

Seriously, it sucks.

If you haven't read this author, this is the ultimate book, over 12000 pages of poems, short stories. and novels. i like this author's writing style. "The Virgin Mother" is an amazing poem that can be found in this great collection, along with stories like "England my England." and so many more.

Beautiful prose. Wonderful creations of the mind. Never read Lawrence before.

So you are welcome to the best thing ever since I have been doing this for being a little bit mindful.
