The Prussian Officer and Other Stories, Hardback Book

The Prussian Officer and Other Stories Hardback

Edited by John Worthen

Part of the The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence series

Hardback

Description

The Prussian Officer and Other Stories, Lawrence's first collection of short stories, was published in England in 1914 and in the USA in 1916.

It contains some of the greatest stories he ever wrote: 'Odour of Chrysanthemums', 'Daughters of the Vicar', 'The Prussian Officer', and 'The White Stocking', with settings ranging from the mining community of Eastwood to Germany before the First World War.

The text of this new edition is based on Lawrence's manuscripts, typescripts and corrected proofs, and is the first to remove the corruptions introduced by copyists, typists and printers.

The introduction sets out the history of each story and of the collection itself.

There is a textual apparatus recording variant readings and full notes explain historical references and other allusions, dialect forms and foreign words.

Two important appendixes print the earliest surviving fragment of 'Odour of Chrysanthemums' and the 1911 version of 'Daughters of the Vicar'.
