D.H. LAWRENCE

BIOGRAPHY
Birth: David Herbert Richards Lawrence was born on September 11 1885, in a small house in Victoria Street, Eastwood, near Nottingham. The fourth child of a coal miner, Arthur Lawrence and Lydia (nee Beardsall).  Within two weeks the child had bronchitis. It was to be a warning: 'Bert' Lawrence's lungs would plague him all his life.
School: After a false start at school at only four years of age, he was withdrawn and didn't return to the Beauvale Board School until he was seven years of age. This late start, no doubt, disadvantaged him socially, setting him apart from the other children. He had few friends of his own, preferring the company of his younger sister, Ada, and her friends. He was a good scholar, however, and became the first boy from the school to win a scholarship to Nottingham High School. It caused the family considerable hardship to allow the boy to take up this scholarship but in September 1898, three days after his thirteenth birthday Lawrence went to the High School. He took the train to Nottingham at seven in the morning and didn't reach home until evening.

Once in his own name, the others in friends' names; the winning entry was in his friend Jessie Chambers' name.
University:  In December 1904 Lawrence took the examination for the King's Scholarship, which would guarantee him a place at Nottingham University College, where he could obtain his Teacher's Certificate. He passed - he was in the top 37 of over 2,000 candidates, but was unable to take up the position until September 1906 due to financial hardship.
Teaching and First novel:  In 1908 Lawrence became a qualified teacher and took up a post at Davidson Road School, Croydon. The school had some very poor boys and it was not to be an easy introduction for the young schoolmaster. However, he was dedicated and innovative and the headmaster was pleased with his work.
