Women in Love The Rainbow Sons and Lovers Lady Chatterley's Lover Women in Love Lawrence's finest, most mature novel initially met with disgust and incomprehension. In the love affairs of two sisters, Ursula with Rupert, and Gudrun with Gerald, critics could only see a sorry tale of sexual depravity and philosophical obscurity. Women in Love is, however, a profound response to a whole cultural crisis. The 'progress' of the modern industrialised world had led to the carnage of the First World War. The Rainbow The Rainbow is about three generations of the Brangwen family of Nottinghamshire from the 1840s to the early years of the twentieth century. Within this framework Lawrence's essential concern is with the passional lives of his characters as he explores the pressures that determine their lives, using a religious symbolism in which the 'rainbow' of the title is his unifying motif. Sons and Lovers This novel is Lawrence's semi-autobiographical masterpiece in which he explores emotional conflicts through the protagonist, Paul Morel, and his suffocating relationships with a demanding mother and two very different lovers. Lawrence's novels are perhaps the most powerful exploration in the genre in English of family, class, sexuality and relationships in youth and early adulthood. Lady Chatterley's Lover Lady Chatterley's Lover is one of the most subversive novels in English Literature. The first edition was printed privately in Florence, Italy, with assistance from Pino Orioli; an unexpurgated edition could not be published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960. (A private edition was issued by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929.)

Kangaroo is an account of a visit to New South Wales by an English writer named Richard Lovat Somers, and his German wife Harriet, in the early 1920s. This appears to be semi-autobiographical, based on a three-month visit to Australia by Lawrence and his wife Frieda, in 1922.The novel includes a chapter ("Nightmare") describing the Somers'' experiences in wartime Cornwall (St Columb Major), vivid descriptions of the Australian landscape, and Richard Somers'' sceptical reflections on fringe politics in Sydney.Australian journalist Robert Darroch — in several articles in the late 1970s, and a 1981 book entitled D.H. Lawrence in Australia — claimed that Lawrence based Kangaroo on real people and events he witnessed in Australia. The extent to which this is true remains a matter of controversy - particularly by Joseph Davis in his 1989 "D.H. Lawrence at Thirroul"(Collins, Sydney). Davis is sympathetic to the view that "Kangaroo" may be based on real events but argues that it is impossible that Lawrence had time to meet clandestine political leaders in Sydney when he was too busy writing his novel in Thirroul. Davis feels it is more likely to have been a local south coast identity associated with Thirroul who would have provided some of the details of Lawrence''s political plot."Kangaroo" is the fictional nickname of one of Lawrence''s characters, Benjamin Cooley, a prominent ex-soldier and lawyer, who is also the leader of a secretive, fascist paramilitary organisation, the "Diggers Club". Cooley fascinates Somers, but he maintains his distance from the movement itself. It has been suggested by Darroch and others that Cooley was based on Major General Charles Rosenthal, a notable World War I leader and right wing activist. It has also been alleged that Rosenthal was involved with the Old Guard, a secret anti-communist militia, set up by the Bruce government.Similarly, according to Darroch, the character of Jack Calcott — who is the Somers'' neighbour in Sydney and introduces Richard Somers to Cooley — may have been based on a controversial Australian military figure, Major John Scott, who was both an associate of Rosenthal, and an Old Guard official.Another central character is Willie Struthers, a left wing activist reputed to have been based partly on Willem Siebenhaar, who made Lawrence''s acquaintance in Western Australia.Kangaroo''s movement, and the "great general emotion" of Kangaroo himself, do not appeal to Somers, and in this the novel begins to reflect Lawrence''s own experiences during World War I. Somers also rejects the socialism of Struthers, which emphasises "generalised love".The novel is sometimes cited as an influence on the Jindyworobak movement, an Australian nationalist literary group, which emerged about a decade later. Gideon Haigh saw fit to dub it "one of the sharpest fictional visions of the country and its people".

"¿Qué es, entonces, la pornografía? En cuanto al arte, no es ni la carga ni la estimulación sexual. Ni siquiera es la intención deliberada del artista de despertar o de excitar sensaciones sexuales. No hay nada de malo en las sensaciones sexuales en sí mismas, siempre y cuando se manifiesten sin rodeos y no solapadamente o a escondidas."Pornografía y obscenidad, ensayo publicado en 1929, es la última obra de David Herbert Lawrence. En este ensayo Lawrence denuncia la dictadura de los "guardianes de la moral" y aboga por una sexualidad liberada de la masturbación y del ocultamiento. Se trata de un opúsculo breve en el que se pone en evidencia un puritanismo de dos caras que aún puede verse en nuestros días.
