Synopsis

D.H. Lawrence, The novelist, poet, playwright, essayist and literary critic, was described as sex prophet, voice of natural man, a willful and foolish rejecter of both science and religion during and after his life. But his intensely moral vision obviates any of these categorizations. He was too great a writer to be relegated to a slot. He was convinced that the western civilization constitutes the denial of life. It is repressive for it sacrifices the body to the mind, the present to the future, spontaneity to foresight and happiness to progress. He therefore offered a non repressive alternative to the Western cul-de-sac. This Book is an attempt to bring into light Lawrence's alternative vision which is rooted in a UN self conscious acceptance of the erotic and aggressive instinct. The book establishes the fact that Lawrence was essentially a psychological novelist writing with a socio-moral purpose.
