* The Guardian *D.H. Lawrence
D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was a novelist, poet, playwright, painter, critic and an icon of 20th-century literature. He is the author of such classics as Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Sea and Sardinia and The Plumed Serpent.
Michael Squires is Professor Emeritus of English and the author and editor of nine books on D. H. Lawrence. He edited Lawrence’s controversial Lady Chatterley’s Lover, published in 1993.
