Lawrence
David Herbert Lawrence (Nottinghamshire, 1885-Vence 1930), son of a miner.
His first novels were "The white peacock" 1911 and "The trespasser" 1912
were very polemical because of the boldness of the author in the description
of the physical love.From that moment the idea that the industrial civilisation
of the modern world alters the life instincts, domided him. His works gives
importance to the nature and the liverty of the sexual act. Still living
in Great Britain, Lawrence published "Sons and Lovers", 1913 and wrote
"The rainbow", 1915, forbidden by the censure. In 1919 Lawrence left his
country because he thought he could enjoy more liverty in other countries.
He wrote "Aaron´s rod, 1922, Australia inspired him "Kangaroo", 1923,
Mexico "The plumed serpent", 1926. He also lived in Nuevo Mexico, but he
came back to Florencia in order to write and publish "Lady Chatterley´s
lover" 1928. He died of tuberculosis in France, however was buried in Nuevo
Mexico. Apart from his novels, he also wrote sixty-six short stories, narrations
and four collections of poems.
