It focuses on the similarities and differences of their creative work and their original reality vision which was reflected in the writers’ short stories. Both V. Woolf and D. H. Lawrence described changeable world where person felt loneliness and alienation. The artists had radical views for that time. On the pages of their short stories they depicted chaotic world. The writers were united by common goal: to find the harmony through the reconciliation. V. Woolf, as well as D. H. Lawrence, created their own isolated world and had utopian ideas as those ones they wanted to reach could not been realized and exist in real life. It is worth mentioning that not only their difference but also their total polarity in style of writing and narration manner. Majority of V. Woolf’s short stories are plotless, they are continuous stream of consciousness. D. H. Lawrence’s short stories are emotionally saturated; he is perceptive psychologist who explored human being’s soul’s secret corners. Short story genre gave the writers possibility to examine new opportunities for enriching means of artistic language methods.
