Description

‘A work whose power stands the test of time’ Sunday Times Set in 1900s, this is a lushly descriptive and highly autobiographical portrayal of a young man growing up in class-divided Nottingham.Paul Morel is the focus of his disappointed and fiercely protective mother’s life. Their tender, devoted and intense bond comes under strain when Paul falls in love with Miriam Leivers, a local girl his mother disapproves of. The arrival of the provocatively modern Clara Dawes causes further tension and Paul is torn between his individual desires and family allegiances. Set in a Nottinghamshire mining town at the turn of the twentieth century, this is a powerful portrayal of family and love in all its forms.WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD EYRE

He's an intoxicator, a very great writer, punished by the feminists and their ludicrous opinions. The short stories are among the best in the language. I re-read Sons and Lovers and The Rainbow recently and thought them wonderful… Has there ever been anyone like him for bringing places and people so vividly to life?

Other text

Lawrence's masterly portraiture of the human impulse in his fiction had strength and depth…He tore at the rock of life with hand and implement… in Sons and Lovers he fashioned the hard substance of his place and people in memorable ways.
