"The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd," written immediately after Sons and
Lovers, is one of D. H. Lawrence's most significant early works.
The play, Lawrence's first, is the alter ego of the story "Odour of
Chrysanthemums" and, like the short story, deals with a catastrophe
in the lives of a coal mining family. Drawing upon the intensity of
events that unfold in the miner's kitchen, the play explores a
marriage bowed under the weight of a husband's drinking and
infidelity and peers into the strange, burgeoning relationship
between the neglected wife, Mrs. Holroyd, and the young electrician
in whom she seeks emotional refuge. First published in 1914, The
"Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd" is a bare tracing of the ways in which a
marriage has gone wrong.
