Born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, in 1885, David Herbert Lawrence was the son of a coal miner and a former schoolteacher. He trained as a teacher before turning to writing, publishing poetry in 1909 and his first novel, The White Peacock, soon afterward. His wide-ranging work included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel writing, literary criticism, and painting.
Lawrence married Frieda von Richthofen in 1914, and the couple spent much of their life traveling and living abroad. Their journeys took them to Italy, Australia, Sri Lanka, and the United States, including a ranch near Taos, New Mexico. Lawrence’s writing often challenged social conventions and censorship, while emphasizing instinct, sexuality, vitality, and a deep connection with the natural world.
He died of tuberculosis in Vence, France, on March 2, 1930, aged 44. Though controversial during his lifetime, Lawrence is now regarded as one of the major English writers of the twentieth century.
