Edward Carpenter was a multifaceted English thinker known for his contributions to socialism, poetry, and early gay rights activism. His notable work, Civilisation: Its Cause and Cure, critiques civilization as a societal disease. Carpenter's advocacy extended to vegetarianism and prison reform, and he significantly impacted literary figures like D. H. Lawrence and Sri Aurobindo, as well as inspiring E. M. Forster's novel Maurice. His life and ideas reflect a deep commitment to social change and personal liberation.
