Additional Biography details about D. H. Lawrence
Lawrence's idealistic theories about sexual relations, interest in
mysticism and primitive religions, resulted in some of the most
famous of the 20th Century's censorship cases. The explicit sexual
content of Lady Chatterley's Lover became infamous in the late
fifties / early sixties and led to this famous book being banned
for many years. When it was later released it became a
best selling novel and was subsequently made into a
movie and televised version. Sons and Lovers were also
immortalised in a movie version of the book which was
famous for the nude wrestling scene featuring the
English actors Alan Bates and Oliver Reed.
D.H. Lawrence had quite a hard life, he suffered for much of his
life from Tuberculosis, many of his works were perceived as
obscene and were banned by the censors. He was persecuted during
WW1 for supposedly having pro-German sympathies and so felt
compelled to leave England for good. |
