School On The Outskirts

School on the Outskirts

by D. H. Lawrence

'School on the Outskirts' is a poem by D. H. Lawrence that explores themes of education, social class, and the changing landscape of rural England during the early 20th century. Lawrence uses vivid imagery and a stark tone to depict a school on the edge of a bustling, industrializing world. The poem contemplates the contrasting worlds of the children and their teacher, highlighting the tensions between tradition and modernization, nature and industry, and the delicate balance of life in a rapidly changing society. Lawrence's poem is both a reflection on the state of education and a poignant portrayal of the complexities of human relationships in a time of great societal upheaval.
