About the author
Born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, on September 11, 1885, D. H. Lawrence grew up in a coal-mining family, an experience that deeply shaped his fiction. He worked as a teacher before turning fully to writing, and became one of the major English writers of the early 20th century, producing novels, short stories, poems, essays, travel writing, plays, and literary criticism.
Lawrence’s writing often returned to human relationships, instinct, sexuality, and the pressures of industrial society. Among his best-known books are Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928). His frank treatment of intimacy led to censorship battles, but it also helped secure his reputation as a bold and influential modern writer.
Restless and widely traveled, Lawrence lived in or visited several countries in Europe, as well as places farther afield, and those journeys fed both his fiction and his travel books. He died in Vence, France, on March 2, 1930, but his work continues to attract readers for its energy, emotional directness, and refusal to stay polite or predictable.
