"Women who fear surrendering to a conventional man always shamefully fall into the arms of a rogue" — Ovid advised young women thus.
Lawrence's main works are all themed around "sexuality," aiming to showcase the "alienation" of modern people at the turn of the century. By emphasizing "chastity" and the "spiritual aspect" of sex, he created "sexual anxiety" between men and women. He believed that many of the problems in Victorian England stemmed from "sexual repression," especially the "sexual repression" of women. He held the view that "sex is beauty" and "beauty is sex," that suppressing sex is suppressing beauty, and hating sex is hating beauty.
This book is recommended for the following groups of readers:
Lovers or experts of Western philosophy, lovers or opponents of Western civilization, "adults" with a formed worldview or "young people" with an unformed worldview, enthusiasts or lovers of cultural history, college and high school students.
