ABSTRACT: Concerning D. H. Lawrence and his
most controversial work Lady Chatterley’s Lover, there are in existence various
theories. This paper first makes an introduction of D. H. Lawrence and his work Lady Chatterley’s lover, and then tries to scrutinize the author and the work in
terms of traditional criticism and psychological criticism. The internal facts (“inside”)
and external facts (“outside”) of the author and the characters in the work are
elaborated, mainly through traditional approach and psychological approach,
hence the conclusion is that Lawrence’s works
were deeply interweaved with his complex and full-of-controversy life and that
readers ought to attach more importance to the author’s life as well as his
work.
