PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
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.
He wrote something like three dozen books, of which even the worst page dances with life that could be mistaken for no other man’s, while the best are admitted, even by those who hate him, to be unsurpassed * Time and Tide * He is an extraordinarily acute noticer of the world, human and natural. And it is not just the natural world that beckons Lawrence to flood it with beautiful language . . . he can be as precise and compact an observer of human interaction as Flaubert or Forster. * The Guardian *
