English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and
painter (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) is one of the most versatile
and influential figures in the 20th-century literary canon. Snake and How Beastly the Bourgeoisie is
are probably his most anthologized poems. He published as D. H.
Lawrence. He was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England. 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. In his last months, he wrote numerous poems,
reviews and essays. D.H. Lawrence died in Vence, France on March 2, 1930, at the age of 44.
