Abstract: In this dissertation I have analysed “The Horse Dealer’s Daughter” by D.H. Lawrence in order to show how he breaks the traditional conventions in fiction and looks within the characters as it is eulogized in Virginia Woolf’s “Modern Fiction”. To do that, I have analysed each work by both artists individually, starting with how Woolf drew the difference between two types of writers of her time whom she named “materialist” and “spiritualist”, and thereupon how Lawrence´s short story meets with the requirement of a “spiritual” writer.
