The Prussian Officer and Other Stories

by D. H. Lawrence

Overview

The Prussian Officer was Lawrence's first collection of stories, and it includes some of his finest and most distinctive fiction. It forms a bridge between the realism of Sons and Lovers and the visionary language and historical sweep of The Rainbow. These stories celebrate the vitality that is fundamental to Lawrence's vision of life, and demonstrate the diversity of interests, narrative power, and vivid sense of place and character that distinguish the works of an acknowledged master of the genre. This edition restores Lawrence's own arrangement of the stories, offers a full introduction and notes, and provides an appendix of earlier version of some of the tales.

About the Author

David Herbert Lawrence, (185-1930) more commonly known as D.H Lawrence was a British writer and poet often surrounded by controversy. His works explored issues of sexuality, emotional health, masculinity, and reflected on the dehumanizing effects of industrialization. Lawrence’s opinions acquired him many enemies, censorship, and prosecution. Because of this, he lived the majority of his second half of life in a self-imposed exile. Despite the controversy and criticism, he posthumously was championed for his artistic integrity and moral severity.
