His works reflect on modernity, industrialization, sexuality, emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct. His best-known novels—''Sons and Lovers'', ''The Rainbow'', ''Women in Love'', and ''Lady Chatterley's Lover''— were the subject of censorship trials.

At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. However, English novelist and critic E. M.
