Lawrence was deeply affected by his mother’s death and based Sons and Lovers on this experience. He published his first novel, The White Peacock, in 1910 shortly before the death of his mother. He received recognition for his fiction when Chambers sent some of his work to a literary journal edited by the poet Ford Maddox Ford, and Lawrence then began to pursue writing as a career. He studied at Nottingham University and then got a job teaching at a university in London. During his recovery, Lawrence spent a great deal of time at a nearby farm where he became friends with Jessie Chambers, the inspiration for Miriam in Sons and Lovers. After school, he became a clerk in an office in the town but came down with pneumonia a few months later which forced him to leave his position. Lawrence loved the countryside surrounding his home and spent a great deal of time outside as a child.
David Herbert Lawrence was born in a mining community in Northern England.
