"American literary scholar and educator Harry Thornton Moore (1908-1981) is best remembered for his studies of the life and work of English novelist D.H. Lawrence but also wrote and edited works on other authors, including John Steinbeck, E.M. Forster, and Rainer Maria Rilke.
He is the author of numerous works of literary scholarship, including The Life and Works of D.H. Lawrence, published in 1951 and revised in 1963, as well as a biography of Lawrence, The Intelligent Heart (1954) (later revised and published in 1974 as The Priest of Love), which was the basis for a 1981 movie of the same name. In addition, Moore was the editor of several other works related to Lawrence, including several volumes of D.H. Lawrence's letters, uncollected and unpublished works by Lawrence and letters from, to, and about Frieda Lawrence, D.H. Lawrence's wife.
After serving as a lieutenant colonel in the US Army Air Force from 1942 to 1947, Moore received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1951. Moore taught at Babson Institute in Massachusetts from 1947 to 1957 and also served as the chair of the department of history and literature. From 1957, he served as a professor of English at Southern Illinois University where he was named professor emeritus in 1978."
