Description

Sons and Lovers tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and budding artist. A semi-autobiographical narrative, which Lawrence rewrote four times until he was finally happy with it. Now considered a masterpiece of English literature, and a fine example literary art. In Lawrence's own words the book is a great tragedy and one that mirrors the tragedy of thousands of young men in England.

Author

D. H. Lawrence (1885–1930) wrote as a prophet of authentic living in an age of machines. Novelist, poet, and essayist, he traced how industrial England suffocated instinct — and how love, nature, and honest desire might restore it. From the coal-country childhood of Sons and Lovers to the contested passion of Lady Chatterley's Lover, his fiction asks what it means to be fully alive when society prefers you obedient.
