David Herbert Lawrence was born on the 11th September 1885 in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, a coal mining town where the reality of a harsh life was only useful as experiences for future literary works.

Tachada de inmoral y escandalosa en su día por tratar la sexualidad y el deseo femeninos desde un punto de vista demasiado natural y desinhibido para la época, El amante de lady Chatterley es, con toda justicia, la novela más célebre y celebrada de D.
