Edward Carpenter

    Edward Carpenter was een Engelse socialistische dichter en filosoof, die zich inzette voor seksuele vrijheid en een pionier was in de holebi-activisme. Zijn werk onderzoekt kritisch de beschaving als een maatschappelijke ziekte die menselijke samenlevingen verzwakt, en stelt een terugkeer naar de natuur en de ontwikkeling van het innerlijke wezen voor als genezing. Zijn ideeën, beïnvloed door het hindoeïstische mysticisme en aangeduid als 'mystiek socialisme', lopen parallel met vroege psychologische en sociologische theorieën van het begin van de 20e eeuw over maatschappelijke druk en de impact daarvan op de individuele geestelijke gezondheid. Als belangrijke figuur binnen het Britse socialisme hadden de filosofische en artistieke inzichten van Carpenter een diepgaande invloed op vooraanstaande schrijvers als D. H. Lawrence en E. M. Forster.
