These works include Aarons Rod (1922), Kangaroo (1923), The Plumed Serpent (1926), and Lady Chatterleys Lover (1928). In Lady Chatterleys Lover, Lawrence not only condemns the civilized world of mechanism that distorts all natural relationships between men and women, but also advocates a return to nature. Lawrence is also a proficient poet. He began his poetry writing very early and wrote quite a large number of poems in his whole career. His poems fall roughly into three categories satirical and comic poems, poems about human relationships and emotions poems about nature Lawrences three influential plays are known as the Lawrence trilogy: A Colliers Friday Night矿工周五的夜晚(1909), The Daughter-in-Law儿媳(1912) and The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyed守寡的霍尔伊德夫人 (1914), What the plays focus on is the direct and violent emotions of the main characters in times of crisis in their married life. The plays are presented with a higher degree of objectivity and detachment than the novels by Lawrence. The major characteristics of his novel is that he combined social criticism with psychological exploration in his novel writing. (1) The theme: In his writings, Lawrence has expressed a strong reaction against the mechanical civilization. (2) Lawrences influence on modern and contemporary English literature: He was one of the first novelists to introduce themes of psychology into his works.。
