Lawrence attended Nottingham high school and Nottingham University. He worked as a clerk and a teacher prior to becoming a full-time writer.
The themes in Lawrence�s work stem from his middle-class upbringing, his relationship with his family, and the political events in Europe. Lawrence developed a close and what some might consider an "unhealthy relationship" with his mother. This became most evident during his relationships with other women.
Lawrence traveled extensively in Italy, Australia, Mexico, and France due to the events of World War I and his tuberculosis. While in France with his wife Frida, Lawrence died of tuberculosis (March 2, 1930).
