Volume I of the Letters, edited by James T. Boulton, gives the first 580 letters in the series, covering the period September 1901 to May 1913.

The manuscript of Lawrence's second novel, The Trespasser, survives, and this edition presents the text for the first time as Lawrence wrote it, restoring his sentence-structure and punctuation and correcting numerous errors. Elizabeth Mansfield's introduction explores the background of the novel, presents the publishing history and the novel's reception.

The Prussian Officer contains some of the greatest stories Lawrence ever wrote: 'Odour of Chrysanthemums', 'Daughters of the Vicar', 'The Prussian Officer', and 'The White Stocking'.

D. H. Lawrence wrote these three 'novelettes' between November 1920 and December 1921. Dieter Mehl gives all three composition histories including Lawrence's wish to have them published together. There is also an appendix on the models for the two main characters and the setting of 'The Fox'.

D. H. 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 (also known as The Man Who Died). In the first, a young woman from a restrictive English rectory discovers further dimensions to life through her contact with a gipsy; in the second, an unnamed man - in fact Lawrence's vision of Christ - is resurrected and escapes from his tomb. 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, mistakes in transmission and various other forms of interference, with variants recorded. The introduction traces the history of the stories, while the notes offer help with allusions, contexts and other points of potential difficulty or interest.

Apocalypse is a radical criticism of our civilisation and a statement of Lawrence's belief in man's power to create 'a new heaven and a new earth'.

This volume collects together for the first time the introductions and reviews which D. H. Lawrence wrote between 1911 and 1930, including the magisterial Memoir of Maurice Magnus of 1921-2.

In his last years D. H. Lawrence often wrote for newspapers; he needed the money, and clearly enjoyed the work. He also wrote several substantial essays during the same period. This meticulously-edited collection brings together major essays such as Pornography and Obscenity and Lawrence's spirited Introduction to the volume of his Paintings; a group of autobiographical pieces, two of which are published here for the first time; and the articles Lawrence wrote at the invitation of newspaper and magazine editors. There are thirty-nine items in total, thirty-five of them deriving from original manuscripts; all were written between 1926 and Lawrence's death in March 1930. They are ordered chronologically according to the date of composition; each is preceded by an account of the circumstances in which it came to be published. The volume is introduced by a substantial survey of Lawrence's career as a writer responding directly to public interests and concerns.

This final volume of The Letters of D. H. Lawrence publishes 148 recently-discovered letters to or from Lawrence, corrects errors in earlier volumes, and offers a comprehensive critical index to the entire edition. This volume brings the Cambridge Edition of Lawrence's letters to a fitting conclusion.

Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine and Other Essays contains what Lawrence himself called the 'philosophicalish' essays written between 1915 and 1925. This edition restores what Lawrence himself wrote before typists, editors and compositors made the extensive alterations which have been followed in all previous versions of the texts.

This is the first ever edition of the early version of Sons and Lovers, D. H. Lawrence's highly popular autobiographical novel.

The Plumed Serpent, one of Lawrence's most vivid novels, is set in Mexico in the 1920s and centres on the religion of the ancient Aztecs.

A collection of twelve stories written between 1907 and 1914. It ranges from the tale of a Prussian officer who drives his orderly towards a reckoning, to the elements of 'A Fragment of Stained Glass', and the divisions within society and conflicts of the heart that form the themes of 'Daughters of a Vicar'.

The fourteen stories collected in this volume were written between 1913 and 1921. The texts aim to recover Lawrence's own intentions, which editors and publishers all too frequently ignored or altered.

These thirteen short stories were written between 1924 and 1928. Eleven were collected in The Woman Who Rode Away (1928), though 'The Man Who Loved Islands' appeared in the American edition only and the other two in The Lovely Lady (1933). An unpublished fragment 'A Pure Witch' is also included.

The Cambridge edition of Lawrence's first novel The White Peacock uses the final manuscript to faithfully recover Lawrence's words and punctuation from the layers of publishers' house-styling and their errors. Andrew Robertson's introduction sets out the history of Lawrence's writing and revision, and the novel's generally favourable reception.

This edition consists of the long novella St Mawr and four short stories, two unfinished.

In some cases whole lines of text, omitted in earlier editions, have been restored.

This edition of The Lost Girl uses the manuscript which D. H. Lawrence wrote in Sicily in 1920 to recapture his direct relationship with the text and so for the first time, the novel is printed in a text corresponding to Lawrence's expectations.
