D.H.Lawrence - Son & Lover

D.H.Lawrence was one of the most influential writers of the early 20th century, whose work has influenced a good many writers since, not least Lawrence Durrell, Ernest Hemingway, Richard Hughes, Laurie Lee, and more recently Sebastian Faulks.

To see who influenced Lawrence you need look no further than the American poet Walt Whitman.

Lawrence was a pretty good playwright too, and perhaps The RSC should think seriously about putting on a season of Lawrence's work?
