England was threatened by sharp agricultural declines and emerging industrial unrest (Buckley 4). .
There are two important facts about D.H. Lawrence's life. The first is the state of warfare that existed between his parents, from which all five of the children suffered and from which they all sought to escape (Draper 2). Lawrence's mother, who was of middle-class origin, had some knowledge of culture. The lack of amenities, the griminess of life in a mining community, and the marginal economical state in which they lived made her a bitter and embattled woman, determined to achieve for her children what she had not been able to achieve for herself. Lawrence, in particular, was very much on his mother's side (Draper 2). This can be seen in the basically autobiographical Sons and Lovers. Later in his life, however, Lawrence realized that he, along with his siblings, had given their father much less than his due. .
The other important fact about Lawrence's childhood is that from an early age he was withdrawn from the ordinary ways of his fellows. He was, in the local dialect, a madarse, that is, a sissy (Buckley 3). His only companions were the children of the Haggs farm (the Wiley Farm of Sons and Lovers) (Buckley 4). .
Lawrence was happiest when he was in the woods or fields, and acquired an amazing knowledge and keen observation of the flora in the area. As he entered college, Lawrence seemed to almost spontaneously grow intellectually. He was a genius, he was ambitious, and above all he was supremely self-confident (Draper 4).
When Lawrence graduated college in 1906, he began writing his first novel, The White Peacock. In 1908, he accepted a teaching position at a boy's school near London. For two years he was content with his teaching position. That all ended abruptly, however, when he helped his mother, who was terminally ill with cancer, kill herself by giving her an overdose of sleeping medicine.
