D.H. Lawrence, or David Herbert Lawrence, was an English author of novels, short tales, poems, plays, essays, travel guides, and letters. He was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, England, on September 11, 1885, and passed away in Vence, France, on March 2, 1930. He became one of the most important English authors of the 20th century because of his novels Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), and Women in Love (1920). Lawrence never again resided in England after the First World War. He and his wife left for Italy in 1919. Soon after, he started writing a series of books that included The Lost Girl (1920), and Aaron's Rod (1922). All three books are divided into two sections, with the tribal ritual of mate-finding taking center stage in the first and the central character venturing to Europe in the second. All three books have open-ended conclusions, but in Mr. Noon, Lawrence delivers his protagonist Lawrence's firsthand account of his time in Germany in 1912 with Frieda, carrying on the lighthearted theme he introduced in Sons and Lovers. Lawrence made the decision to leave Europe in 1921 and travel to the US, Australia, and Sri Lanka.
