There was a rapid advance in science and technology, education expanded, and the state of women improved a great deal. Yet, on the other hand, England also witnessed the break out of two devastating world wars, World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939-1945). One of the major literary figures of this period is David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930). He is a prolific writer, with his output of novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, translations and travel books.
