Every writer depicts the characteristics of his age as he generally transcribes from life. Lawrence's life and work
represent a revolt against the values and ideas of the nineteenth century. He appears to be a novelist of the abnormal
simply because normality has become something abnormal during present age. D. H. Lawrence was a prolific
writer. He has written poems, novels and short stories. He is one of the first grade novelists of England who makes
use of the science of psychology in his novels. Lawrence was an artist eminently gifted with a prophetic vision of
life. D. H. Lawrence can rightly be described as one of the most disputed genius in the history of the modern English
