ABOUT THE AUTHOR

D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930), an influential 20th-century English writer, produced a vast body of work encompassing novels, short stories, poetry, plays, essays, and more. His writings delved into the dehumanizing impact of modernity and industrialization, exploring themes of emotional health, spontaneity, human sexuality, and instinct. Lawrence faced persecution and censorship due to his controversial views, spending much of his life in voluntary exile. Despite a posthumous reputation as a pornographer, influential critics like E. M. Forster and F. R. Leavis later recognized Lawrence as a visionary thinker and a significant figure in the modernist tradition of English literature.
