Novelist & poet
D. H. Lawrence
A miner's son from Nottinghamshire whose novels were banned and in one case burned. The obscenity trial over Lady Chatterley's Lover came thirty years after he died.
David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialisation, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. Four of his most famous novels, Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928), were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality, and use of explicit language.
