The Prussian Officer And Other Stories

1914. Controversial English novelist, short-story writer, poet and essayist, Lawrence is known for his frequently misunderstood, but basically idealistic theories about sexual relations and for his interest in primitive religions and nature mysticism. Lawrence regarded sex, the primitive subconscious, and nature as cures for what he considered modern man's maladjustment to industrial society. His philosophy, life history and prejudices are inextricably entwined in his writings. Contents: The Prussian Officer; The Thorn in the Flesh; Daughters of the Vicar; A Fragment of Stained Glass; The Shades of Spring; Second Best; The Shadow in the Rose Garden; Goose Fair; The White Stocking; A Sick Collier; The Christening; and Odor of Chrysanthemums.
