Odour of Chrysanthemums

by D. H. Lawrence

Overview

�Odour of Chrysanthemums� was written by D H Lawrence in 1911. It was the tenth of his sixty-seven short stories, all of which will be published individually in ebook format by the Blackthorn Press. Lawrence is at his best in this story, taken from the scenes of his childhood and based on characters he knew intimately. He reworked the story in the play, �The Widowing Mrs Holroyd� and in �Sons and Lovers� but in this short story version, Lawrence sees the tragic episode through the eyes of the wife. The theme of a loveless marriage, redeemed by death is one which Lawrence was to come back to in other stories
