Lawrence. Many of these stories are set during and revolve around World War Ⅰ, such as \u003cem\u003eWintry Peacock. \u003c\/em\u003e When her husband goes off to war, a woman finds herself moving in with her in-laws as she eagerly waits for his return. Around the time he is meant to come home, a letter arrives for him, written in French. Sent by the husband's mistress, the letter details the affair he had, and that the mistress was with child because of it. Though the letter also warned of the mistress's plans to move to England with her baby to be with the husband, the wife was unable to translate the French, leading to a situation of unfortunate misdirect and miscommunication. Other stories among this collection focus on the unfair societal expectations of women. \u003cem\u003eYou Touched Me\u003c\/em\u003e follows the story of an adopted son and dying patriarch blackmailing an eldest daughter into marrying the son. \u003cem\u003eSamson and Delilah\u003c\/em\u003e depicts the complicated reunion of a husband and wife after the husband had abandoned his wife and newborn child fifteen years prior. \u003cem\u003eFannie and Annie\u003c\/em\u003e excellently portrays the societal pressure for women to settle for less as it depicts Fannie, a well-educated woman, returning to her hometown to marry an unmotivated man who has illicit affairs with other women. Exploring the opposite perspective of a similar situation, \u003cem\u003eThe Primrose Path\u003c\/em\u003e inspects the consequences of a man who lives a fleeting lifestyle--jumping from place to place, job to job, and woman to woman. Features themes of love, feminism, and sexuality, D.H. Lawrence explores complicated relationships during the 20th century amid a world war and unjust and harmful social expectations. \u003cem\u003eEngland, My England \u003c\/em\u003e explores issues of society with a dark and biting tone, creating narratives that are not easily forgotten, and relate to ever-present human struggles.

Lawrence features a new eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable to cater to a contemporary audience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e With stories of blackmail, infidelity, bittersweet reunions, and marriages of convenience, \u003ci\u003eEngland, My England \u003c\/i\u003e tackles social issues of the 20th century. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eEngland, My England \u003c\/i\u003e by D.H Lawrence is a collection of ten stories, many of which are set to the backdrop of World War Ⅰ and the societal expectations for women. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 07, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52546640675123,"sku":"9781513270517","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/dVJ2U0UzdmlaVkRFd2twZzJHYTRDQT09.webp?v=1760993898","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/england-my-england-and-other-stories-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
