1/4: DH Lawrence - The Prussian Officer
David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 -- 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as DH Lawrence. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct. Lawrence #39;s opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile which he called his savage pilgrimage. At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. EM Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as, The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation. Later, the influential Cambridge critic FR Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence #39;s fiction within the canonical great tradition of the English novel. Lawrence is now valued by many as a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------From:BackToTheArchivesViews:0 0ratingsTime:25:46More inEntertainment
