Editor's review

This is an index of D. H. Lawrence's works published by Project Gutenberg, a catalogue-type work of public-domain ebooks. Its value lies not in offering new literary interpretation but in providing a clear retrieval path for readers and researchers to locate Lawrence's works within Project Gutenberg's vast free ebook library. As an index, it reflects Project Gutenberg's ongoing effort since its founding by Michael Hart in 1971 to organize public-domain texts, and it also shows how classic English literature has been reorganized and made openly accessible in the digital age. Reading this index is more like using a reference work: you can quickly learn which of Lawrence's works have been digitized, in what entry form they appear, and plan your subsequent reading or research accordingly. It is suitable as supporting material for digital humanities, public-domain resources, and English literary bibliography research, and should not be read as an introduction to or commentary on Lawrence's works. For readers hoping to approach Lawrence's works systematically, this index is a starting map, not the destination itself.

FAQ

Does this index include the text of Lawrence's works?

No. It is an index of entries for D. H. Lawrence's works in Project Gutenberg, providing mainly a list of works and retrieval points; the texts themselves must be obtained through the corresponding entries. It is more accurately understood as an ebook catalogue.

Why is the index itself published as a book?

Project Gutenberg has long organized public-domain works as electronic texts, and to make it easier for readers to survey a given author's digitized works under one entry, it publishes indexes as separate items. This practice reflects its commitment to open access and systematic organization.

What language skills are needed to read this index?

The entries are in English, with author names, work titles, and classification information all in English, so basic English reading ability is required. If you only want to know which works Lawrence wrote, reading with the help of a dictionary is enough.

About the author

Lawrence, D. H. (David Herbert), 1885-1930 Author

D. H. Lawrence (David Herbert Lawrence, 1885–1930) was an English novelist, poet and essayist. The library holds 25 of his works, including the novels Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love and The Lost Girl, the short-story collections The Prussian Officer and England, My England, and the travel book Twilight in Italy. His writing often draws on mining and rural life and focuses on relations between men and women, class, and the pressure modern civilization places on individual vitality, with a candid style that is sensuous and psychologically searching, at once poetic and forceful. Because his work boldly touched on desire and social taboo, he was controversial in his lifetime and is now regarded as a major voice in twentieth-century English literature. Detailed information beyond his works is limited, so this note relies on the available works and established common knowledge.
