The Top 10 Short Stories - Men 1920s: The top ten Short Stories of the 1920's written by male authors

Written by David Herbert Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Bram Stoker and 7 more

Narrated by Richard Mitchley, Laurel Lefkow and Christopher Ragland

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

War has ruined Nations and peoples. Revolution has followed in some. In the aftermath society slowly picks itself up, unaware that collapse is already beginning to ferment in its economic bastions. The authors of this decade are purposeful with their prose, describing and detailing with stories the brazen nature of this decade.

David Herbert Lawrence

David Herbert Lawrence, (185-1930) more commonly known as D.H Lawrence was a British writer and poet often surrounded by controversy. His works explored issues of sexuality, emotional health, masculinity, and reflected on the dehumanizing effects of industrialization. Lawrence’s opinions acquired him many enemies, censorship, and prosecution. Because of this, he lived the majority of his second half of life in a self-imposed exile. Despite the controversy and criticism, he posthumously was championed for his artistic integrity and moral severity.
