D.H. Lawrence (1885–1930) is one of the best-known English authors of the twentieth century, remembered today for his novels, in particular Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920) and Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928). Published in an era of frequent censorship in British literature, Lawrence’s writing was often the subject of legal battles, most notably the Lady Chatterley Trial, which eventually resulted in the publication of the uncensored version of Lady Chatterley’s Lover in Britain some thirty years after the author’s death.
