Riassunto

Introduction and Notes by Dr Howard J. Booth, University of Kent at Canterbury. `When you have experienced Sons and Lovers you have lived through the agonies of the young Lawrence striving to win free from his old life'. Richard Aldington This novel is Lawrence's semi-autobiographical masterpiece in which he explores emotional conflicts through the protagonist, Paul Morel, and his suffocating relationships with a demanding mother and two very different lovers. Lawrence's novels are perhaps the most powerful exploration in the genre in English of family, class, sexuality and relationships in youth and early adulthood.

Recensione

No other writer with his imaginative standing has in our time written books that are so open to life." --Alfred Kazin

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 --Kate Millet, Critic

L'autore

David Herbert Lawrence was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire in 1885. He was the fourth son of a coal-miner, who drank heavily. His mother was a former teacher. Lawrence spent much of his childhood ill and confined to bed, whilst his parents argued constantly. Living in near poverty, his mother was determined that Lawrence should not become a miner, and encouraged him academically.
