Om boken

Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. It traces emotional conflicts through the protagonist, Paul Morel, and his suffocating relationships with a demanding mother and two very different lovers, which exert complex influences on the development of his manhood. The novel was originally published by Gerald Duckworth and Company Ltd., London, and Mitchell Kennerley Publishers, New York. While the novel initially received a mediocre reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today considered a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement. It goes into detail about Lawrence's life and his phases. His first phase was in 1910 when he lost his mother, to whom he was particularly attached. He met Frieda Richthofen during that time. Also, he began conceiving his other two novels, The Rainbow and Women in Love, which had more sexual emphasis and maturity.
