Description
‘I shall always be a Priest of Love and a glad one. Once you’ve known what love can do, there’s no disappointment any more, and no despair.’
On 2 March 1930 D. H. Lawrence died, aged forty-four.
Since then the controversial author of works such as Lady Chatterley’s Lover , Sons and Lovers and Women in Love has become a legend both as a writer and a man.
From a career that began in an ugly mining village in the Midlands, Lawrence was to become what E.M. Forster called ‘the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.’
Yet during his lifetime, and for years afterwards, his views were greeted with hostility, and his works banned.
The Priest of Love explores the reality behind the myth, creating a vivid and everlasting portrait of Lawrence — as a prophet, an artist, but above all, as a man.

Harry T. Moore (1908-1981) is best remembered for his studies of the life and works of D.H. Lawrence. He also wrote and edited books on the writings of John Steinbeck, E.M. Forster, Henry James, as well as several collections of essays on twentieth-century literature. Moore’s biography of Lawrence, The Priest of Love , became the basis for a film starring Ian McKellen and Janet Suzman in 1981.
