Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence is a work of classic literature. Written in 1913 by the English writer, it is considered one of Lawrence's masterpieces.The book portrays the life and love of Paul Morel, a young man and artist. The Oedipus complex is explored, with Paul's intense relationship with his mother and hatred of his father. As Lawrence explains;"As her sons grow up she selects them as lovers - first the eldest, then the second. These sons are urged into life by their reciprocal love of their mother - urged on and on. But when they come to manhood, they can't love, because their mother is the strongest power in their lives." (D.H. Lawrence)'Lovers' between mother and sons is meant in the psychological sense. The novel does portray Paul's sexual relationship with Miriam, then Clara in great detail. Early sexual relationships, class and family are important themes of the book (which is thought to be inspired by Lawrence's own relationship with his mother).D.H. Lawrence has masterful insight into the relations between men and women. He captures the beauty of humans and nature, with strong female characters and intelligent depth of psychology. We hope you enjoy the following quotes from Sons and Lovers."She turned to him with a splendid movement. Her mouth was offered him, and her throat; her eyes were half-shut; her breast was tilted as if it asked for him. He flashed with a small laugh, shut his eyes, and met her in a long, whole kiss. Her mouth fused with his; their bodies were sealed and annealed. It was some minutes before they withdrew.""She felt the accuracy with which he caught her, exactly at the right moment, and the exactly proportionate strength of his thrust, and she was afraid. Down to her bowels went the hot wave of fear. She was in his hands. Again, firm and inevitable came the thrust at the right moment. She gripped the rope, almost swooning. .. There was something fascinating to her in him. For the moment he was nothing but a piece of swinging stuff; not a particle of him that did not swing. She could never lose herself so, nor could her brothers. It roused a warmth in her. It was almost as if he were a flame that had lit a warmth in her whilst he swung in the middle air.""She suddenly became aware of his keen blue eyes upon her, taking her all in. Instantly her broken boots and her frayed old frock hurt her. She resented his seeing everything. Even he knew that her stocking was not pulled up. She went into the scullery, blushing deeply. And afterwards her hands trembled slightly at her work. She nearly dropped all she handled. When her inside dream was shaken, her body quivered with trepidation. She resented that he saw so much.""Her beauty - that of a shy, wild, quiveringly sensitive thing - seemed nothing to her. Even her soul, so strong for rhapsody, was not enough. She must have something to reinforce her pride, because she felt different from other people. Paul she eyed rather wistfully. On the whole, she scorned the male sex. But here was a new specimen, quick, light, graceful, who could be gentle and who could be sad, and who was clever, and who knew a lot."*This Kindle e Book has been formatted by human hand, contains a linked table of contents and is illustrated with erotic art pictures from Renaissance and Impressionist artists.

The story of Paul Morel, a young man and budding artist, growing up in a working class mining community. Considered by many to be D.H. Lawrence's earliest masterpiece. galled by his own poverty. He became foreman of the engineers in the dockyard at Sheerness. Mrs. Morel--Gertrude--was the second daughter. She favoured her mother, loved her mother best of all; but she had the Coppards' clear, defiant blue eyes and their broad brow. She remembered to have hated her father's overbearing manner towards her gentle, humorous, kindly-souled mother. She remembered running over the breakwater at Sheerness and finding the boat. She remembered to have been petted and flattered by all the men when she had gone to the dockyard, for she was a delicate, rather proud child. She remembered the funny old mistress, whose assistant she had become, whom she had loved to help in the private school. And she still had the Bible that John Field had given her. She used to walk home from chapel with John Field when she was nineteen. He was the son of a well-to-do tradesman, had been to college in London, and was to devote himself to business. She could always recall in detail a September Sunday.

This edition incorporates an original introduction from Moorside Press, including a biography, a critical discussion of Lawrence's place in the history of British Literature and a short contextual discussion of the book.Lawrence’s third novel, published in 1913 might be termed a family saga, detailing the story of Gertrude Coppard’s unfulfilling marriage to Walter Morel and the subsequent fortunes of her two sons William and Paul. The dominant theme is the way a mother’s love can come to smother the relationships of her offspring and the sense that the mother’s own expectations – the fact that they weren’t fulfilled – can hinder those of her sons.While Sons and Lovers is now perceived as a great work of art, the initial reactions and, to a degree, Lawrence’s own appreciation, were dimmed when set against subsequent novels. Leavis felt that the autobiographical elements (it is felt the author was transmitting the disappointments of his own mother’s marriage), diminished the novel, but in the modern era the critics are convinced.
