Lawrence was one of the first writers to insist that sexuality was a powerful, transformative realm of experience that deserved to be considered on its own terms, outside of traditional moral and religious considerations.Of course what once seemed transgressive is by now old news. But if novels and movies about sex have lost their salutary shock value, many of Lawrence’s essential insights about human nature remain true.
