This book provides a stimulating and carefully structured introduction to Lawrences short stories. It guides the reader to a deeper critical understanding of individual stories, but it also provides model commentaries on several of their most prominent narrative techniques. Part 1 provides an overview of Lawrences work in the genre, discussing his early realist stories, the modernist tales, and the late fables and satires. Part 2 contains a thorough analysis of ten of Lawrences best known and most widely studied stories (Odour of Chrysanthemums, Daughters of the Vicar, Love Among the Haystacks, The Prussian Officer, England, My England, The Horse-Dealers Daughter, The Blind Man, The Rocking-Horse Winner, The Man Who Loved Islands, and Things). The analysis includes details of composition, a detailed synopsis, plus a short focus on a critical issue which opens up the structure of the story in question. Part 3 uses sections from four of the stories to demonstrate Lawrences use of dialogue, symbolism, free indirect discourse, and mimicry and satire. Part 4 presents a Select Bibliography of editions of the stories plus secondary criticism.
