D. H Lawrence

Light Paperback (1 lb or less)

There was one place in the world that stood solid and did not melt into unreality: the place where his mother was. Everybody else could grow shadowy, almost non-existent to him, but she could not.' In his quest to find his emotional and independent self, Paul Morel is torn between the strong, Oedipal bond he has with his mother and the relationships he forges as a young adult, with chaste Miriam and the provocative Clara. As Paul matures and struggles with his own and his mother's feelings towards the other women in his life, Lawrence expertly crafts a timeless and universal story of family, love and the relationships that define us.

One of the landmark novels of the twentieth century.

With a new Introduction by Geoff DyerCommentary by Anthony Burgess, Jessie Chambers, Frieda Lawrence, V.S. Pritchett, Kate Millett, and Alfred Kazin'Of all Lawrence's work, SONS AND LOVERS tells us most about the emotional source of his ideas," observed Diana Trilling.'The famous Lawrence theme of the struggle for sexual power - and he is sure that all the struggles of civilized life have their root in this primary contest - is the constantly elaborated statement of the fierce battle which tore Lawrence's family."SONS AND LOVERS is one of the landmark novels of the twentieth century. When it appeared in 1913, it was immediately recognized as the first great modern restatement of the oedipal drama, and it is now widely considered the major work of D. H. Lawrence's early period. This intensely autobiographical novel recounts the story of Paul Morel, a young artist growing to manhood in a British working-class family rife with conflict. The author's vivid evocation of the all-consuming nature of possessive love and sexual attraction makes this one of his most powerful novels.For the critic Kate Millett, "SONS AND LOVERS is a great novel because it has the ring of something written from deeply felt experience. The past remembered, it conveys more of Lawrence's own knowledge of life than anything else he wrote. His other novels appear somehow artificial beside it."

Young artist Paul Monel's childhood and early manhood in the English midlands are deeply influenced by his devotion to and concern for his domineering mother. Reissue.
