Over de auteur
David Herbert Lawrence, more popularly known as D. H. Lawrence, was an eminent English writer and poet, born on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire. He was a fervent literary figure whose works encompassed fiction, poetry, essays, and plays, each an exploration of the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. In his writings, Lawrence delved into themes of emotional health, vitality, spontaneity, and instinct, often drawing from his own experiences and intense personal relationships. He is best remembered for his novels, such as ‘Sons and Lovers’ (1913), ‘Women in Love’ (1920), and ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ (1928), which cumulatively chart the vicissitudes of human connection and the search for a vivid life amidst the constraining morals of English society. While his novels gained immense notoriety and sparked censorship debates due to their frank treatment of sexuality, Lawrence’s poetic oeuvre, as captured in ‘The Poetry of D. H. Lawrence’, showcases his lyricism and a passionate affinity for nature. His poetic works are distinctive for their immediacy, rich imagery, and sensual mystique, which align closely with his broader literary style marked by a detailed psychological portrayal of characters and a vivid depiction of the natural world. Lawrence’s influence on literature endures, as his works continue to be celebrated for their defiance against orthodoxy and their portrayal of human emotion in its rawest form.
