Lawrence's reputation as a novelist has often meant that his achievements in poetry have failed to receive the recognition they deserve.

It therefore allows the reader to trace the development of Lawrence as a poet and appreciate the...

In Sea and Sardina, Lawrence brings to life the vigorous spontaneity of a society as yet untouched by the deadening effect of industrialization. And Etruscan Places is a beautiful and delicate...

Soon after its publication Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) became notorious for its story of the physical (and emotional) relationship between a working class man and an upper class woman, its explicit descriptions of sex, and its use of then-unprintable words. This last of Lawrence's novels reflects his belief that men and women must overcome the deadening restrictions of industrialized society.
