Lawrence's best-known late fictions are presented in this volume, which is dominated by two powerful novellas, The Virgin and the Gipsy and The Escaped Cock. Both novellas deal with the themes of escape and sexual awakening, which are echoed in the four short stories and three fragments also collected here. This edition restores Lawrence's final texts, before the changes introduced by censorship or mistakes in transmission. The introduction traces the history of the stories, while the notes offer help with allusions, contexts and other points of potential difficulty or interest.

D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was a pioneering English novelist, poet, essayist, and literary critic renowned for his provocative exploration of human emotions, sexuality, and societal norms. Born in the coal-mining town of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, Lawrence's modernist works like Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover challenged prevailing conventions of his time, delving deeply into social alienation, modernity, and industrialization. Despite facing censorship and controversy, Lawrence's literary legacy endures as a testament to his daring and original contributions to literature and his unyielding quest for authenticity in artistic expression.
