D.H. Lawrence

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English author of novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, and letters. His novels Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), and Women in Love (1920) made him one of the most influential English writers of the 20th century. He is best known for his infamous novel Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928), which was banned in the United States and England until decades after its publication. Though he was regarded as a crude and uncouth author in his lifetime, he is now regarded as one of the great modernist English writers.
