Overview

English writer and poet

Works

Multi-talented writer and artist, son of a Nottinghamshire coal-miner, his reputation is largely based on novels Sons and Lovers (1914), Women in Love (1920) and of course the ‘scandalous’ Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928), the latter the subject of a famous obscenity trial when Penguin Books published a fully unexpurgated edition in 1960. He also wrote poetry, essays and plays and exhibited paintings at the Warren Gallery in London in 1929.
