About Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence

Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. While the novel initially incited a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement. Lawrence rewrote the work four times until he was happy with it. Although before publication the work was usually titled Paul Morel, Lawrence finally settled on Sons and Lovers. Just as the new title makes the work less focused on a central character, many of the later additions broadened the scope of the work, thereby making the work less autobiographical. While some of the edits by Garnett were on the grounds of propriety or style, others would once more narrow the emphasis back upon Paul.

Biographie de l'auteur :

David Herbert Richards Lawrence, an English novelist, poet, playwright, and painter, heavily criticised, censored and prosecuted for his often sexually explicit and thought provoking writing. He spent much of his adult life in a voluntary exile which he called his 'savage pilgrimage'. At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. He is now valued as a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature. His work represents an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct.
