Lawrence (1885-1930) was an English writer, whose diverse work included novels, poems, literary criticisms and much more. His strong opinions on topics like human sexuality and emotional health earned him many enemies, and he spent the second half of his life traveling the world, never ceasing to write.

Since its publication in 1913, D. H. Lawrence''s powerful and passionate third novel stands as one of the greatest autobiographical novels of the twentieth century. Here is the story of artist Paul Morel as a young man, his powerful relationship with his possessive mother, his passionate love affair with Miriam Leivers, his intense liaison with married Clara Dawes. Here, too, England''s Derbyshire springs to life with both is sooty mining villages and deep green pastures, a setting as full of contrasts as the deep emotions that rule this remarkable book.Sons and Lovers is rich with universal truths about relationships; moreover, it brims with what Alfred Kazin has called Lawrence''s "magic sympathy, between himself and life." Continues Mr. Kazin: "No other writer of his imaginative standing has in our time written books that are so open to life...Since for Lawrence the great subject of literature was not the writer''s own consciousness but consciousness between people, the living felt relationship between them, it was his very concern to represent the ''shimmer'' of life, the ''wholeness''...that made possible his brilliance as a novelist."With an Introduction by John Gross

The Lost Girl, D. H. Lawrence’s forgotten novel, is a passionate tale of longing and sexual defiance, of devastation and destitution.Alvina Houghton, the daughter of a widowed Midlands draper, comes of age just as her father’s business is failing. In a desperate attempt to regain his fortune and secure his daughter’s proper upbringing, James Houghton buys a theater. Among the traveling performers he employs is Ciccio, a sensual Italian who immediately captures Alvina’s attention. Fleeing with him to Naples, she leaves her safe world behind and enters one of sexual awakening, desire, and fleeting freedom.

A potent study of the question of power and authority, as well as a realistic portrayal of wartime rural England, "The Fox" showcases Lawrence's inimitable gift for psychological observation and dramatic description.

Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all timePronounced obscene when it was first published in 1915, The Rainbow is the epic story of three generations of the Brangwens, a Midlands family. A visionary novel, considered to be one of Lawrence’s finest, it explores the complex sexual and psychological relationships between men and women in an increasingly industrialized world. “Lives are separate, but life is continuous—it continues in the fresh start by the separate life in each generation,” wrote F. R. Leavis. “No work, I think, has presented this perception as an imaginatively realized truth more compellingly than The Rainbow.”

Lawrence's passionate belief in the power of intimacy and sexuality rings out in his finest play, one of the most memorable of the 20th century.

A semi-autobiographical novel that explores the emotional conflicts through the protagonist, Paul Morel, and the suffocating relationships with a demanding mother and two very different lovers. It is a pre-Freudian exploration of love and possessiveness

The 'progress' of the modern industrialised world had led to the carnage of the First World War. What, then, did it mean to call ourselves 'human'? What are the definitive forms of our relationships - love, marriage, family, friendship - really worth? Without directly referring to the war, this novel explores these questions.

Lawrence first put together the collection of his poems in 1928. They are arranged chronologically "to make up a biography of an emotional and inner life".

"Apokalypse betyder ganske enkelt åbenbaring, men dermed er det også slut med enkelheden, for i næsten to tusind år har mennesker vredet hjernen for at finde ud af, hvad der egentlig er åbenbaret i hele dette orgie af mystifikation, og af samtlige Bibelenes bøger anser de måske Åbenbaringen for at være den mindst tiltrækkende."D.H. Lawrence‘ essay "Apokalypsen" blev hans sidste store værk og dermed hans sidste forsøg på at gøre sig forståelig over for en verden, der enten ikke ville eller kunne forstå ham. Essayet er en kritik af de politiske, religiøse og sociale elementer, som den vestlige civilisation består af. Men selvom essayet i bund og grund er en samfundskritik, så er den humanisme, der gennemstrømmer det, også et udtryk for håb om, at kreativitet og åndelighed kan få menneskeheden tilbage på ret kurs igen.D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) var en engelsk forfatter, digter, skuespilforfatter og essayist. Hele sit liv var D.H. Lawrence plaget af dårligt helbred, og hans bevidsthed om, at døden altid var nær, satte et særligt præg på hans forfatterskab. I mange år boede D.H. Lawrence i Sydeuropa, hvor han sluttede venskab med den berømte engelske forfatter Aldous Huxley.

I Sønner og elskere skildres de daglige rutiner i et engelsk minearbejderhjem, hvor hverken drengen Paul eller hans søskende vil være som deres far; rå, fordrukken og brutal. I stedet tager de form efter matriarken i hjemmet, moren, der med sin middelklassebaggrund værdsætter uddannelse, kultur og dannelse. I centrum står Pauls forhold til først den uskyldige Miriam og derefter den mere modne Clara. Men den stærke binding til moren gør ham ude af stand til at elske dem. Karakteristisk for historien, og for D. H. Lawrences øvrige forfatterskab, er sammenstødet mellem klasser og ideologier, hvor religiøs tro står over for fornuft og rationalitet, følsomhed over for råhed, og hvor al lidenskab forsøges kontrolleret ved hjælp af selvbeherskelse.

I tiden før første verdenskrig i et engelsk minedistrikt lever Ursula Brangwen og hendes søster. I centrum for historien står deres problemer med at finde den rette partner – og i det hele taget at finde en meningsfuld plads i en moderne verden. Romanen efterfølger ”Sønner og elskere” og ”Regnbuen”, hvor hurtigt skiftende kønsroller og klassetilhørsforhold, industrialisering og den forestående krig problematiserer personernes søgen efter identitet og mål med livet.

I Mariehønen møder vi en såret krigsfange, der har en foruroligende indflydelse på den engelske kvinde, der besøger ham på hospitalet. Prinsessen handler om en kvinde, der opdrages til at tro, at hun er af særlig royal karakter. Dette præger hendes opførsel, som af andre opfattes som kold og anderledes, men hendes senere kærlighedsforhold ender med at blive en maskulin besættelse af hende, der resulterer i fatal overfald og ejerskabsfølelse. To noveller om menneskelige relationer – både de milde og de grusomme – og om krigens ødelæggende kræfter.
