Edward Carpenter was a pioneering figure in the realms of utopian socialism, poetry, and philosophy, known for his advocacy of gay rights, prison reform, and vegetarianism. His notable work, Civilisation: Its Cause and Cure, critiques civilization as a disease affecting human societies. Carpenter's influence extended to prominent writers such as D. H. Lawrence and Sri Aurobindo, and he inspired E. M. Forster’s novel Maurice, marking him as an early champion of sexual liberation and progressive social ideas.
