Lawrence ever remained a controversial figure and his works have been subjected to much severs scrutiny and he has been both praised and blamed for his achievements and failings. In fact, like many contemporary writers, Lawrence is so near to us that any attempt at assessing his values is apt to be discolored and vitiated by our personal likes and dislikes and individual bias and prejudices. Therefore, one has to be very much on the alert at the time of evaluating Lawrence as a story writer and as a creative genius who emerges as a gifted story writer to be reckoned in the succession of great story writers of the world - Zola, Flaubert, Maupassant Tolstory, Pushkin, James Joyce, Henry james and Virginia Woolf - to name only a few. One must find out at this stage that as a story - Writer D H Lawrence maintained his individuality all through in choosing a subject, handling his plot and exposing the truth of life in a language which is essentially poetic and emotive. In this respect Lawrence is without a peer. It is actually impossible to find his equal in the whole range of English story writings. As a creative genius he stands out apart from other writers by virtue of his special endowments, his specific attitude to life, his uncommon gifts and his revolutionary life's philosophy.
