«Sons and Lovers» is D. H. Lawrence's semi-autobiographical novel, published by Wordsworth Editions in paperback (400 pages, in English).
Paul Morel, son of a mining family in early 20th-century England, is trapped between his intense bond with his mother and his need for independence. His relationships with Miriam, naive and traditional, and Clara, freer and more modern, awaken desire and possessiveness, confronting him with contradictions of class and identity.
Sons and Lovers was originally published in 1913; this Wordsworth Classics edition includes an introduction and notes by Howard J. Booth.
For readers of classic fiction and English literature, interested in the bildungsroman and social realism of the early 20th century.
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.
