The Prussian Officer was Lawrence's first collection of stories, and it includes some of his finest and most distinctive fiction. It forms a bridge between the realism of Sons and Lovers and the visionary language and historical sweep of The Rainbow. These stories celebrate the vitality that is fundamental to Lawrence's vision of life, and demonstrate the diversity of interests, narrative power, and vivid sense of place and character that distinguish the works of an acknowledged master of the genre. This edition restores Lawrence's own arrangement of the stories, offers a full introduction and notes, and provides an appendix of earlier version of some of the tales.
