You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

H. Lawrence]]'s ''[[Sons and Lovers]]''.<ref name="White1984">((cite book|author=T. H. White|title=Letters to a Friend|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xdTDKLXhJ8YC|date=May 1984|publisher=Penguin Group (USA) Incorporated|isbn=978-0-425-06816-8|page=91))</ref>

==Early life and family==
Edward Garnett was born in [[London]]. His father, [[Richard Garnett (writer)|Richard Garnett]] (1835–1906), was a writer and librarian at the [[British Museum]]. On 31 August 1889 Edward married [[Constance Garnett|Constance Black]], known for her translations of [[Russian literature]]; the writer [[David Garnett]] (1892–1981) was their son.

==Career==
Garnett had only a few years' formal education at the [[City of London School]], leaving at the age of 16, but he educated himself further by reading widely. He gained a high reputation at the time for a mixture of good sense and sensitivity in relation to contemporary literature. His influence through his encouragement of leading authors exceeded by far that of his own writing. His literary contacts and correspondents spread far and wide, from [[Peter Kropotkin]] to [[Edward Thomas (poet)|Edward Thomas]].

He worked as an editor and [[publisher's reader|reader]] for the London publishing houses of [[T. Fisher Unwin]], [[Gerald Duckworth and Company]], and then [[Jonathan Cape]]. He brought together in 1898 [[Joseph Conrad]], an Unwin author to whom he acted as a mentor as well as a friend, and [[Ford Madox Ford]]; they collaborated in the first few years of the twentieth century. Garnett befriended D. H. Lawrence, and for a time influenced him in the direction of realist fiction. In preparing ''Sons and Lovers'' for publication by Duckworth, Garnett went through the manuscript, censoring some passages and cutting others until the novel was ten per cent shorter; he did not negotiate these changes with Lawrence, but sent the manuscript direct to the printers. The changes including replacing ′hips′ with ′body′ and ′thighs′ with ′limbs.′ He removed the word ′natural′ from ′He could smell her faint natural perfume.′″<ref>''[[Sons and Lovers]]'', Cambridge University Press, 1992, pp. 3,4. This was the first unexpurgated edition.</ref> Lawrence accepted the changes, saying ″It's got to sell, I've got to live.″<ref>''[[Sons and Lovers]]'', Cambridge University Press, 1992, p. 3.</ref>

Garnett also had a role in getting [[T. E. Lawrence]]'s work published. One of his oversights was to turn down for Duckworth [[James Joyce]]'s ''[[A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man]]'', in 1915. He was a strong supporter of [[John Galsworthy]], and ''The Man of Property'' in ''[[The Forsyte Saga]]'' was dedicated to him. He also championed American writers [[Stephen Crane]] and [[Robert Frost]] and [[Australia]]'s [[Henry Lawson]], and helped the Irish writer [[Liam O'Flaherty]].

His play ''The Breaking Point'' was not allowed a licence for dramatic performance in London under the [[censorship]] system of the time ([[Lord Chamberlain's Office]]). Its publication was permitted, and in 1907 Garnett published the play, which dealt with an [[single parent|unmarried mother]], together with an open letter to the censor. The letter was in fact written by the critic [[William Archer (critic)|William Archer]]. This was one battle in a campaign being waged at the time, under the leadership of [[George Bernard Shaw|Bernard Shaw]], to free the stage.

Garnett lived at The Cearne, [[Crockham Hill]], near Edenbridge in Kent. His London address was 19, Pond Place, Chelsea.<ref>''Kent & Sussex Courier'', Friday 23 April 1937, p.10</ref>
