Tentang pengarang
David Herbert Lawrence, typically known as D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930), was a profoundly influential English writer, poet, playwright, essayist, and literary critic. His works are well-known for their exploration of human sexuality, emotional health, and instinct. Lawrence was born in the small mining town of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, to a struggling coal miner father and a mother who had aspirations to escape the decay of the industrializing world through her children. This parental tension and Lawrence's own experience with the working-class milieu shaped much of his early writing. He attended the University College Nottingham, where he obtained a teaching certificate. However, it was Lawrence's literary career that granted him lasting recognition. His novel 'The Lost Girl' (1920) for which Lawrence was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, deftly illustrates his thematic preoccupations with individuality and the quest for fulfillment in an industrial society. The book revolves around themes of personal freedom, deteriorating human connections, and the pursuit of one's true self. Lawrence's distinctive literary style combines a deep sense of character with poignant descriptions of the natural world, which reflects his belief in the primal connection between man and his environment. His works often confronted the norms of his time, which led to censorship and misunderstanding by critics of his era. Nonetheless, his contributions to English literature endure, and he remains one of the 20th century's most controversial and insightful authors.
