D. H. Lawrence

David Herbert Lawrence was born in 1885 in Eastwood, a coal-mining town in Nottinghamshire, the son of a miner and a former schoolteacher. He won a scholarship to Nottingham High School, worked as a clerk, and trained as a teacher at University College Nottingham, then taught at a school in Croydon. His first novel, The White Peacock, appeared in 1911. In 1912 he left England with Frieda Weekley, the German wife of a Nottingham professor, and they married in 1914. Sons and Lovers (1913), based partly on his own family, was followed by The Rainbow (1915), which was banned in Britain, and Women in Love. His short-story collection The Prussian Officer appeared in 1914. During the First World War the couple were suspected of spying and were forced to leave Cornwall. Lawrence then traveled widely, living in Italy, Australia, Mexico and New Mexico, and wrote poems, travel books and essays as well as novels. Suffering from tuberculosis, he died in Vence, France, in 1930.
