The Trespasser D. H. Lawrence

The Trespasser, the second novel by D. H. Lawrence, is the tragic tale of Siemund, a music teacher with an unhappy family life, and his student, who becomes his lover. D. H. Lawrence was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter whose works represent a reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. In his writings Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct often apposing current social acceptance. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, described him as "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation."
