He was the fourth of the five children of Arthur John Lawrence (1846–1924), and Lydia Lawrence. Lawrence's childhood was dominated by poverty and friction between his parents. D. H. Lawrence attended Beauvale Board School from 1891 to 1898. He then won a scholarship to attend Nottingham High School. He was educated at Nottingham High School. After his studies at Nottingham University, Lawrence matriculated at 22 and briefly pursued a teaching career. In 1909, a number of Lawrence's poems were published by Ford Madox Ford in the English Review.

The appearance of his first novel, The White Peacock(1911), launched Lawrence into a writing career. In 1912 he met Frieda von Richthofen Weekley, the professor Ernest Weekly's wife and fell in love with her. In 1914 Lawrence married Frieda von Richthofen Weekley. Lawrence's best-known work is Lady Chatterley's Lover, first published privately in Florence in 1928. Lawrence continued to write despite his failing health.
