Sobre este artículo
1913. London: Duckworth and Co., 1913. 8vo., original blue cloth lettered in gilt on spine and upper board; pp. [vi], vii-viii; 423; [20 (advertisements)]; minimal rubbing to extremities; slight even toning and spotting throughout; bookseller sticker and stamp to end paste-down; a very good copy. First edition. With the 20 page advertisment catalogue to rear, lacking the additional tipped-in title page. Sons and Lovers reflects the period of significant cultural and industrial change at the start of the twentieth century in England. Reflecting on Lawrence's own experiences growing up in a mining town, he works to paint images of working-class life, and the drive to escape from it, in nuanced and convincing ways. This work is often considered as a transitional piece in Lawrence's writing career, marking a distinct shift from his earlier naturalistic and pastoral novels to a more introspective, psychological, and social commentary style. Lawrence's powerful characters and plots still holds much significance today, and continues to be appreciated for its exploration of human psychology, family dynamics, and the impacts of industrialisation and social class on the plethora of lives featured within it.
Sinopsis
Though it is the author’s third novel, Sons and Lovers is often regarded as D.H. Lawrence’s masterpiece. The autobiographical work, which was originally titled Paul Morel after its protagonist, was set in motion with the death of Lawrence’s mother, Lydia. The author used the opportunity to reexamine his childhood, his relationship with his mother, and her psychological effect on his sexuality. Sons and Lovers had already been rejected by one publisher when Lawrence sent the manuscript to Edward Garnett of Gerald Duckworth and Company Ltd. Garnett made extensive editing suggestions and still — after Lawrence rewrote the manuscript for the fourth time — cut 80 passages, about 10% of the work, before its 1913 publication. At the time of publication, Sons and Lovers was criticized for being obscene. But the novel endured. It has been adapted for film multiple times, including the Academy Award winning 1960 film. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century.
