D. H. Lawrence, who lived from 1885 to 1930, was during his lifetime known to the wide public only as a writer of supposedly indecent books which were from time to time suppressed. He wrote boldly – in novels, poems and essays – of sexual problems, because he felt that too much repression and intellectualization were destroying the instinctual part of man's nature. Lawrence stressed passion, not because he believed in passion exclusively, but because he felt that it should be brought into balance with intellect. This is his central message. [TRUNCATED]
