Dávid Herbert Lawrence was born at Eastwood, Notts, on 11 September 1885, the fourth child of a miner who had been employed at Brinsley Colliery since he was 7 years of age. At 13 he won a scholarship from his Council School to Nottingham High School, which he left for a job with a firm of surgical goods manufacturers at a wage of thirteen shillings a week.

For two years he travelled in Germany and Italy, and, returning to England, was married in 1914 to Frieda von Richthofen. In 1919, the Lawrences left England, returning only at intervals in the course of extensive travels, first in Europe and then in Australia and America. Meanwhile from Lawrence's vivid and dynamic pen there came many novels, hundreds of poems, letters, and several books of travel. They settled for a while in New Mexico, but came back finally to Europe in 1929. In September of that year Lawrence became seriously ill and died of tuberculosis on 2 March 1930, at Vence in the South of Francé. NOT FOR SALE IN THE U.S.A. Vissza
