SONS AND LOVERS - D H LAWRENCE TASCHENBUCH

Part of Alma Classics' Evergreens series of popular classics  Sons and Lovers is presented here
with an extensive critical apparatus and extra material  including a section of photographs and
notes. As the sensitive and delicate Gertrude begins to shrink from her drunken and violent
husband  their marriage becomes a battleground. Gertrude turns increasingly towards her two
eldest sons  William and Paul  and determines that they will not grow up to be coal miners
living in poverty like their father. Yet soon William falls ill  and Paul seeks to escape his
mother's suffocating influence through a series of relationships. Closely autobiographical  and
widely considered to be the first English novel with a truly working-class background  Sons and
Lovers is the affecting portrait of a mining family torn apart by class divisions and the
conflict between filial love and the urge to follow one's own desires.
