"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.

1916. The Fourth Series of plays by Strindberg translated by Bjorkman. This volume includes: The Bridal Crown; The Spook Sonata; The First Warning; and Gustavus Vasa. The Swedish playwright is known for his contributions to the naturalist, symbolist and expressionist theater, as well as his hatred of the emancipated woman, his interest in science and the occult and his defiant struggles with God for personal justice and salvation.

1913. Third Series including Swanwhite, Simoom, Debit and Credit, Advent, The Thunderstorm, and After the Fire. The collection of plays contained in this volume is unusually representative, giving what might be called a cross-section of Strindberg's development as a dramatist from his naturalistic revolt in the middle eighties, to his final arrival at resigned mysticism and Swedenborgian symbolism. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty or faded. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
