About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 12 recordings of Afternoon in School - the last lesson by D. H. Lawrence. This was the Weekly Poetry project for June 4, 2017. Read in English by Algy Pug; Bruce Kachuk; David Lawrence; Newgatenovelist; Greg Giordano; Jude; Lee Ann Howlett; Leonard Wilson; Nemo; Phil Schempf; Tomas Peter and Winston Tharp. David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. Some of the issues Lawrence explores are sexuality, emotional health, vitality, spontaneity, and instinct. - Summary by Wikipedia A comment from one of our readers: "As a retired teacher, I can't resist commenting on this one. What an attitude for a teacher to have! I feel sorry for the students in his classes. Of course, even the best teachers probably have a bad day now and then, but not this bad. When I was chairman of my English department, however, I do recall one really useless teacher who was actually a brilliant man, but refused to spend any more of that brilliance on his students than he could get away with--the worst teacher in my experience. Hmm, sounds like Lawrence." (Leonard Wilson)
