«Sons and Lovers» is D.H. Lawrence's autobiographical novel, published by Penguin in paperback (420 pages, in English).
Set in mining Nottinghamshire, it tells how Gertrude and Walter Morel's marriage breaks down and she pours her life into her children, especially Paul. Paul, now an adult, seeks to free himself from that maternal influence through relationships with other women. It is an autobiographical portrait of childhood, youth and generational conflict.
The work was originally published in 1913; this edition, published in 2007, belongs to the Penguin Popular Classics collection and includes an introduction by Blake Morrison.
For readers of classic English fiction and novels with an autobiographical imprint.
David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialisation, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. Four of his most famous novels – Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) – were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality, and use of explicit language.
