Editor's Take:
D. H. Lawrence wrote with startling frankness about desire, class and nature. He was the son of a coal miner in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire. His novel Sons and Lovers drew on his close bond with his mother. The Rainbow was banned for obscenity in 1915. He eloped with Frieda Weekley, the German wife of his former professor. They lived restlessly in Italy, Australia, Mexico and New Mexico. Lady Chatterley's Lover could not be published uncut in Britain until 1960, when a famous obscenity trial cleared it. He died of tuberculosis at 44.
