The idea
D. H. Lawrence, a Nottinghamshire miner's son, wrote of the unconscious, class and sexuality. His novels, including The Rainbow, Women in Love and Lady Chatterley's Lover, faced censorship trials for their portrayals of sexuality and explicit language. The anchor sees him seeking to reunite body and mind.
In practice
Miner's son; body and mind.
Where people slip
