"I may not have read all of these but remember one of his short stories that I am sure would be in this collection. It is The Horse dealers Daughter. At 17 it had a profound effect on me and I can almost say that the course of my life was profoundly influenced by its sentiments. "

    " A quick read. I particulalry liked "Second Best" but while reading "The White Stocking" I wondered if Lawrence was a chauvinist. I know it's awful, but I have yet to read "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and "Sons and Lovers." "

About D. H. Lawrence

D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) was a British writer of novels, poems, essays, short stories, and plays. Some of the books he wrote in the early 1900s became controversial because they contained direct descriptions of sexual relations. His best-known books are Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
