Àííîòàöèÿ: H.G. Well's interest in manu diverse subjects is well represented in this selection of twenty-one stories, and his brilliance of imagination and sheer creativity will ensure that these stories are read for many years to come.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Studies in Classic American Literature, first published in 1923, provides a cross-section of Lawrence's writing on American literature from the previous six years, including landmark essays on Benjamin Franklin, Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Richard Dana, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman. Eight of the essays were first published in the English Review 1918-19, but Lawrence continued to work on his material, with the aim of producing a full-length book; at various times fifteen separate items belonged to it, all of them revised on different occasions, some of them four or five times, and often corrected with the errors of their predecessors preserved.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Aaron is a respected member of mining community, yet his success stifles him. Pinning his faith on his flute-playing, he breaks with his wife, moves south... and meets Rawdon Lilly. The extraordinary relationship between these two men - twin poles of Lawrence s own consciousness - is the central span of this important novel.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Odour of Chrysanthemums, regarded as one of D. H. Lawrence s most accomplished stories, was written in 1909 and published in Ford Madox Hueffer s English Review in June, 1911. A different version, which transformed and expanded the concluding section in which Elizabeth Bates reflects on her married life in the presence of the body of her husband, was published in 1914 in The Prussian Officer and Other Stories. The story s controlled analysis of the harsh industrial setting and of Elizabeth Bates s psychological transformation has been widely admired. H. E. Bates has even argued that Lawrence—s greatest achievement is his short fiction.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Mr. Polly is an ordinary middle-aged man who is tired of his wife's nagging and his dreary job as the owner of a regional gentleman's outfitters. Faced with the threat of bankruptcy, he concludes that the only way to escape his frustrating existence is by burning his shop to the ground and killing himself. Unexpected events, however, conspire to lead the bewildered Mr. Polly to a bright new future - after he saves a life, fakes his death, and escapes to a world of heroism and hope.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In post-war East Midlands, in a home dominated by their difficult grandmother and aunt, Yvette and Lucille are two sisters struggling to bring joy into their lives. Their mother, having run off in scandal, leaves the two to suffer a dysfunctional family life and oppressive domesticity. But one day, Yvette meets a free-spirited gypsy and his family, awakening her sexual desires and compounding her disenchantment.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The present collection, which was first published in 1950 and has been reprinted seventeen times, has been widely acclaimed and remains one of the best known and most constantly used anthologies of modern poetry to have appeared.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Lawrence s first novel The White Peacock was begun in 1906, rewritten three times, and published in 1911. The Cambridge edition uses the final manuscript as base-text, and faithfully recovers Lawrence s words and punctuation from the layers of publishers house-styling and their errors; original passages, changed for censorship reasons, are reinstated. Andrew Robertson s introduction sets out the history of Lawrence s writing and revision, and the generally favourable reception by friends and reviewers. Lawrence incorporated much of his own experience and reading on to the novel which is set just north-east of Eastwood, and modelled characters on his friends and family. The notes identify real-life places and people, explain dialect forms, literary allusions, and historical references, and include sensitive passages deleted before publication. The textual apparatus records all the variant readings and the appendix prints the two surviving fragments from the earliest manuscripts of the novel, then entitled Laetitia.

Àííîòàöèÿ: These stories probe previously uncharted depths of feeling and perience. The stories include The Prussian Officer, The Thorn In the Flesh, Daughters of the Vicar, A Fragment of Stained Glass, The Shades of Spring and Second Best.

Àííîòàöèÿ: When Bert Smallways is accidentally whisked off to Germany in a ballon carrying plans for a top-secret aeroplane, he gets involved in Prince Karl Albert's massive airship raid on New York...first step in a war which soon flares into world-wide catastrophe.

Àííîòàöèÿ: D. H. Lawrence's second novel "The Trespasser" is based on the tragic love affair of his friend Helen Corke and her violin teacher. After reading Miss Corke's diary, Lawrence first urged her to write her story and then received her permission to do it himself. Between his rapid composition of the first draft in the spring and summer of 1910 and his final revisions in early 1912, Lawrence's view of Helen Corke, and consequently of her story, changed. The manuscript survives, and this edition presents the text for the first time as Lawrence wrote it, restoring his sentence-structure and punctuation and correcting numerous typesetters' errors. In her substantial introduction Elizabeth Mansfield explores the background of the novel, presents the complications of the publishing history and the novel's reception. A full textual apparatus records the history of the text and the editor annotates topical and other references.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In January 1921, D. H. Lawrence and his wife Frieda visited Sardinia. Although the trip lasted only nine days, Lawrence wrote an intriguing account of Sardinian life that not only evokes the place, people and local customs but is also deeply revealing about the writer himself. Remarkable for its metaphoric and symbolic descriptions, the book is transfused with the author s anger and joy. His prejudices and his political prophecies make Sea and Sardinia a unique and dynamic piece of travel writing. The Cambridge edition restores censored passages and corrects corrupt textual readings to reveal for the first time the book Lawrence himself called A Marvel of Veracity.
