Additional Biography details about D. H. Lawrence
Lawrence's idealistic theories about sexual relations, interest in mysticism and primitive religions, resulted in some of the most famous of the 20th Century's censorship cases. The explicit sexual content of Lady Chatterley's Lover became infamous in the late fifties / early sixties and led to this famous book being banned for many years.
When it was later released it became a best selling novel and was subsequently made into a movie and televised version. Sons and Lovers were also immortalised in a movie version of the book which was famous for the nude wrestling scene featuring the English actors Alan Bates and Oliver Reed. D.H. Lawrence had quite a hard life, he suffered for much of his life from Tuberculosis, many of his works were perceived as obscene and were banned by the censors. He was persecuted during WW1 for supposedly having pro-German sympathies and so felt compelled to leave England for good.

Famous Quote by Amy Lowell
"Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in."
Amy Lowell the person
A daughter of an old and distinguished New England family, her first book was "A Dome of Many Coloured Glass" published in 1912. The following year Amy met Ezra Pound, a member of the imagist movement in England and she soon became the leader of the movement in the US. Lowell went on to sponsor imagist poets and edit and write critiques on anthologies of imagist works, and write many imagist poems mainly in polyphonic prose and free verse.
This Poet's personality was particularly strong, and she was viewed by many of her contemporises as somewhat eccentric in nature, often using extreme language and smoking full size black cigars.
