David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English writer, novelist, short story writer, poet and essayist. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialization, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. His best-known novels-Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover-were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of sexuality and use of explicit language.
