About D. H. Lawrence
English novelist, poet, and playwright
David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, poet, playwright, critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. He is known for modernist writing that examines modern life, social isolation, and industrial society, while also defending sexuality, vitality, and instinct. His best known novels include Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover. These works drew censorship trials for their frank treatment of romance and sexuality, and for their direct language.
