H. Lawrence\u003c\/b\u003e, whose fiction has had a profound influence on twentieth-century literature, was born on September 11, 1885, in a mining village in Nottinghamshire, England. His father was an illiterate coal miner, his mother a genteel schoolteacher determined to lift her children out of the working class. His parents' unhappy marriage and his mother's strong emotional claims on her son later became the basis for Lawrence's \u003ci\u003eSons and Lovers\u003c\/i\u003e (1913), one of the most important autobiographical novels of this century. In 1915, his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eThe Rainbow, \u003c\/i\u003e which like its companion novel \u003ci\u003eWomen in Love\u003c\/i\u003e (1920) dealt frankly with sex, was suppressed as indecent a month after its publication. \u003ci\u003eAaron's Road\u003c\/i\u003e (1922); \u003ci\u003eKangaroo\u003c\/i\u003e (1923), set in Australia; and \u003ci\u003eThe Plumed Serpent\u003c\/i\u003e (1926), set in Mexico, were all written during Lawrence's travels in search of political and emotional refuge and a healthful climate. In 1928, already desperately ill, Lawrence wrote \u003ci\u003eLady Chatterley's Lover\u003c\/i\u003e. Banned as pornographic, the unexpurgated edition was not allowed legal circulation in Britain until 1960. D. H. Lawrence called his life, marked by struggle, frustration, and despair, \"a savage enough pilgrimage.\" He died on March 2, 1930, at the age of forty-four, in Vence, France.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Modern Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51201174339858,"sku":"9780375758003","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_5d0f9108-19f0-4884-a688-111909303320.jpg?v=1748519457","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/lady-chatterleys-lover-9780375758003","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
