1885–1930
Biography
David Herbert Lawrence, known as D. H. Lawrence, was an English novelist, poet, playwright, short-story writer and critic, who lived from 1885 to 1930. For much of his adult life he chose to live abroad, and he wrote travel books and essays and painted pictures as well as fiction and verse.
His novels look at modern life: the strain that industry and social divisions place on people, and the place of sex, feeling and instinct in a full life. Several of them drew censorship trials for their frank treatment of sex and their plain language. In his lifetime critics dismissed him as tasteless and even a pornographer, but after his death E. M. Forster argued that he was a major novelist of his generation, and F. R. Leavis later defended his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness.
The site holds Lady Chatterley's lover, the 1928 novel in which Connie Chatterley, married to a man paralysed in the war, begins an affair with the gamekeeper on her husband's estate. It is the novel most closely tied to the censorship battles over his work, and reading it shows why his frankness still divides readers.
