D. H. Lawrence (David Herbert Richards)
1885 - 1930D.H. Lawrence was a British novelist, poet, playwright, and essayist known for his provocative and controversial works. Born on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England, Lawrence was the fourth of five children. His father was a coal miner, and his mother was a former schoolteacher. Despite the family's financial difficulties, Lawrence received an education and attended the University of Nottingham.
Lawrence's literary career began in the early 1900s, and he gained recognition for his novels Sons and Lovers and The Rainbow. His work often explored themes of sexuality, nature, and modernity, and his frank depictions of sex and relationships often led to controversy and censorship. He faced accusations of obscenity, and his work was banned in several countries.
Lawrence also suffered from poor health throughout his life, which impacted his writing and contributed to his early death at the age of 44. Despite his struggles, Lawrence's legacy lives on as one of the most influential and provocative writers of the 20th century. His work continues to be studied and celebrated for its exploration of human nature and its daring and controversial themes.Read more on Wikipedia
