D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930), novelist, poet, playwright, painter, critic, is an The White Peacock, Sons and Lovers, Lady Chatterly's Lover, The Rainbow and Women in Love. His hatred of militarism, openly expressed during the First World War, sparked a wave of vilification that forced him to leave England and embark on what he called his "Savage Pilgrimage." He spent the remainder of his life travelling - to America, Italy, Austria, Mexico, the South of France and Sri Lanka - and it was during this time that he wrote such classics as Sea and Sardinia, The Plumed Serpent and Lady Chatterley's Lover. E.M. Forster called him "The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation."
