description: St. Mawr and Other Stories contains St. Mawr, a long novella, two short stories, "The Overtone" and "The Princess," and two unfinished stories, "The Wilful Woman" and "The Flying Fish." They were all written during Lawrence's stay in New Mexico and Mexico between 1922 and 1925. The texts are newly edited from Lawrence's original manuscripts and typescripts, eliminating mis-transcriptions and unauthorized alterations made by publishers and printers for reasons of house-styling, fear of prosecution or moral censoriousness. In some cases whole lines of text, which have been omitted in the first and subsequent editions, have been restored. The textual apparatus records all variants. The introduction uses unpublished material to trace the genesis and reception of each work. The notes give the translation of foreign words, the explanation of classical, biblical, literary and historical references and the reasoning behind some of the more involved textual cruces.
