This poetic, idiosyncratic work of nonfiction was intended partly as a response to critics of his novel Sons and Lovers. Lawrence challenges mainstream positivist science, as well as the more recent hypotheses of psychoanalysis, to expound an alternative vision of life, sex, marriage, education, human motivation, and the conflict between reason and emotion.

D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was a prolific man of letters whose novels were famous for their frank depiction of human sexuality and scathing criticism of modernity. Reviled by the literary establishment during his life, he is now regarded as one of England’s greatest writers, and his novels, especially Lady Chatterly’s Lover and Sons and Lovers, have been recognized as masterpieces.
