Synopsis
"In these ten short stories D.H. Lawrence pinpoints the decline of a whole social ethos with bitter precision. Echoes of the First World War resound throughout as Lawrence writes of its effect on the survivors, of outward alliances and inner yearnings. In England, My England Egbert's charmed life with his wife and small daughters gradually changes as he retreats from reality with the coming of the First World War. A young Lothario meets his match in the women he has mistreated in Tickets, Please. In The Blind Man Isabel is intrigued by the effect her husband Maurice, blinded at Flanders, has on a reserved friend who visits them. Unexpected feelings are awoken in You Touched Me, and a dying man's last wish is granted"--Cover page 4.
