Produktbeschreibung

For many of us DH Lawrence was a schoolboy hero. Who can forget sniggering in class at the mention of 'Women In Love' or 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'? Lawrence was a talented if nomadic writer whose novels were passionately received, suppressed at times and generally at odds with Establishment values. This of course did not deter him. At his death in 1930 at the young age of 44 he was more often thought of as a pornographer but in the ensuing years he has come to be more rightly regarded as one of the most imaginative writers these shores have produced. As well as his novels he was also a masterful poet (he wrote over 800 of them), a travel writer as well as an author of many classic short stories. Here we publish his play 'David'. Once again Lawrence shows his hand as a brilliant writer. Delving into situations and peeling them back to reveal the inner heart.

Autorenporträt

David Herbert Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, United Kingdom. His parents were Arthur John Lawrence, a coal miner, and Lydia Beardsall Lawrence, who came from a family of lace makers. David grew up in a working-class environment, which deeply influenced his later works. He became one of the most important English novelists of the 20th century, known for his works that explored themes of modernity, social alienation, and the impact of industrialization. His writing championed human vitality, sexuality, and instinct, often in opposition to the dehumanizing forces of modern life. Lawrence's most famous works include novels such as "Sons and Lovers," "Women in Love," and "Lady Chatterley's Lover." He was influenced by prominent figures such as Thomas Hardy, Sigmund Freud, and E. M. Forster. His works were often controversial, addressing issues of sexuality and class that led to censorship. Lawrence married Frieda Weekley in 1914, and their life together was marked by travels and an often turbulent relationship. He died on March 2, 1930, in Vence, France, at the age of 44, leaving behind a significant legacy in literature that continues to provoke thought and discussion.
