Summary

In "Glad Ghosts," D. H. Lawrence crafts a richly textured narrative intertwining themes of love, loss, and the ethereal interplay between memory and the human experience. The text employs a stream-of-consciousness style that reflects the emotional landscapes of its characters, blending realism with an almost metaphysical exploration of existence. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century societal transformations, Lawrence'Äôs prose delves into the intricacies of human relationships while revealing the profound impact of the past on the present. D. H. Lawrence, a key figure of modernist literature, often drew from his own experiences of industrial England and his deep-seated interest in psychology and spirituality. His exploration of human emotions and their manifestations can be traced back to his tumultuous life, which included conflict with societal norms and a quest for deeper meaning beyond the physical realm. This personal journey profoundly informs the haunting and reflective quality of "Glad Ghosts," as it resonates with Lawrence'Äôs quest for understanding between the tangible and intangible aspects of life. For readers seeking a profound exploration of the tensions between memory and identity, and the ghosts that linger in our lives, "Glad Ghosts" is an essential read. Lawrence'Äôs poetic insights invite introspection and challenge conventional notions of reality, making this work a significant addition to the canon of modern literature. Experience the resonance of Lawrence'Äôs lyrical language and thought-provoking themes that will linger long after the final page.

    At some point in our lives we believe that creak, that low moan, that whisper is something unnatural, beyond our comprehension.  And in these stories our instincts are right. We are afraid. And we should be.  Perhaps even terrified.   In this volume our classic authors take different approaches, but the result is inevitably the same. We are hooked by these unknowable forces, our emotions heightened and rattled by the expectation—or shock—of the next few words.
