DH Lawrence: Biography

David Herbert Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885, the fourth child and third son of a miner in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire.  Despite having grown up in a lower class home and without many friends, he has become the most frequently studied novelist of the twentieth century .
Lawrence started school extremely early at the age of four, only to be withdrawn for the next three years.  This was much to his disadvantage socially.  He had very few friends as a child.  He preferred the company of his younger sister and her friends.  At the age of thirteen, Lawrence received a scholarship to the Notthinghamshire High School.  Despite the financial difficulty this put on his family, Lawrence studied diligently at school, and one again, made very few friends.
