George Henry Neville was D. H. Lawrence's closest childhood friend.
The relationship between them was one of those deep male-male bonds
that Lawrence always felt the need of, and someone like Neville
recurs frequently in the fiction. Reading Middleton Murry's life of
Lawrence, Son of Woman, in the 1930s, Neville saw it as the
'Betrayal' of his title, and set out to tell the story from his own
point of view. Murry saw Lawrence's relationship with his mother as
crucial; but Neville saw the other aspects at first hand. Above
all, he stressed his own part in the story, as one of those who
loved Lawrence and was loved by him, and says a great deal about
Lawrence's early determination to make the sexual relationship the
theme of his writing. Dr Carl Baron's additions meanwhile help
place Neville's account as one of the most important first-hand
sidelights on the story given artistic form in Sons and Lovers.
