You could describe D.H. Lawrence as the great multi-instrumentalist among the great writers of the twentieth century. He was a brilliant, endlessly controversial novelist who transformed, for better and for worse, the way we write about sex and emotions; he was a wonderful poet; he was an essayist of burning curiosity, expansive lyricism, odd humor, and radical intelligence, equaled, perhaps, only by Virginia Woolf. Here Geoff Dyer, one of the finest essayists of our day, draws on the whole range of Lawrence’s published essays to reintroduce him to a new generation of readers for whom the essay has become an important genre. We get Lawrence the book reviewer, writing about Death in Venice and welcoming Ernest Hemingway; Lawrence the travel writer, in Mexico and New Mexico and Italy; Lawrence the memoirist, depicting his strange sometime-friend Maurice Magnus; Lawrence the restless inquirer into the possibilities of the novel, writing about the novel and morality and addressing the question of why the novel matters; and, finally, the Lawrence who meditates on birdsong or the death of a porcupine in the Rocky Mountains. Dyer’s selection of Lawrence’s essays is a wonderful introduction to a fundamental, dazzling writer.

Part 1 provides an overview of Lawrence's 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 Lawrence's 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-Dealer's 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 Lawrence's 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.

A Modern Lover: "The road was heavy with mud. It was labour to move along it. The old, wide way, forsaken and grown over with grass, used not to be so bad. The farm traffic from Coney Grey must have cut it up. The young man crossed carefully again to the strip of grass on the other side.It was a dreary, out-of-doors track, saved only by low fragments of fence and occasional bushes from the desolation of the large spaces of arable and of grassland on either side, where only the unopposed wind and the great clouds mattered, where even the little grasses bent to one another indifferent of any traveller. The abandoned road used to seem clean and firm. Cyril Mersham stopped to look round and to bring back old winters to the scene, over the ribbed red land and the purple wood. The surface of the field seemed suddenly to lift and break. Something had startled the peewits, and the fallow flickered over with pink gleams of birds white-breasting the sunset. Then the plovers turned, and were gone in the dusk behind."
