D. H. Lawrence

-
Standard Name: Lawrence, D. H.
Used Form: David Herbert Lawrence
DHL published prolifically between 1909 and his death in 1930: poetry, novels, short stories, travel literature, and social comment. He was always a controversialist, fighting against the machanizing, dehumanizing, desexualizing tendencies of modern life, and was also a playwright and a painter.
D. H. Lawrence, passport photograph (therefore straight-on head and shoulders), 24 February 1929. He is unsmiling, and his jacket, tie, beard and moustache are conspicuously neat.
