D. H. Lawrence, in full David Herbert Lawrence (1885.-1930.) is one of the most influential English writer of the 20th century. His diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and personal letters. In his work he confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct. In April 1912 Lawrence had finished his comedy The Married Man, in which a woman with the name Elsa Smith appears as fiancée of the character closest to Lawrence himself, Billy Brentnall. Elsa is highly unconventional: a striking and superb dea ex machina, she descends upon the last act of the play and sorts out the character's lives.
