Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence's fiction within the canonical “great tradition” of the English novel.Love Poems and Others by D.H Lawrence features thirty-two poems of various lengths. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as, “The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.” Later, the influential Cambridge critic F.R. Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his “savage pilgrimage.” At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. After a brief foray into formal poetics in his early years, his later poems embrace organic attempts to capture emotion through free verse. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. Lawrence’s prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, and literary criticism.
