 DH Lawrence - The life and death of author, David Herbert Lawrence
Lydia came from a middle class religious family, and the differences in Lawrence's parents backgrounds often led to family conflicts, with his father preferring to spend his wages on drink, to help deaden the pain of working long grueling hours underground, whilst his mother was more concerned with the children's upbringing, welfare, and education.
Most of the people of Eastwood did not accept Lawrence, and his name was hardly mentioned in the town for many years, because of the perceived disgrace his novels had brought upon the community.
Lawrence loved the beautiful countryside surrounding Eastwood, and this, combined with the stark contrast of the mining industry, was the inspiration for his early novels, including 'The White Peacock' and 'Sons and Lovers'.
