Description
This poetic, idiosyncratic work of nonfiction was intended partly as a response to critics of his novel Sons and Lovers. Lawrence challenges mainstream positivist science, as well as the more recent hypotheses of psychoanalysis, to expound an alternative vision of life, sex, marriage, education, human motivation, and the conflict between reason and emotion.

Description
Published in 1916, this small book of travel essays recounts Lawrence's experiences on his first extended trip outside England. But don't expect reviews of famous historical sports, for, as Anais Nin noted, Twilight in Italy "cannot be read as an ordinary travel book, for his voyage is philosophic, as well as a symbolic and sensuous one."
17) Rex

English
Description
Rex' is a riotous story of the turmoil caused in a household by the arrival of a puppy. The setting is similar to the one found in 'Sons and Lovers’, but Lawrence thought this scene deserved the fuller treatment of a short story. The question of the destructive force of unconditional love is left open.

English
Description
Wintry Peacock' is, on the surface, a tale of misdirected love or even irresponsible love, the relationship between the wife and the peacock being the most strange but it is the conspiracy of the two men in the story to prevent the truth coming out about the husband's love child that is most disturbing. The innocent are punished and the guilty get away with their sins and the author goes laughing down the hill at the end of the story.
