Born within walking distance of ten Nottinghamshire pits, David
Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was painfully aware that his frail
physique and quiet character were ill suited to the mining industry
upon which his community depended. The difficulties of his youth
are manifest in Sons and Lovers, his first major novel and an
insider's portrayal of the culture of the collieries. Writing to a
friend, Lawrence explained the seed of his plot: 'a woman of
character and refinement goes into the lower class, and has no
satisfaction in her own life'. Stemming from this are the intricate
difficulties in the relationships of Paul Morel, the second son of
this unhappy mother, torn between her overpowering influence and
two vastly different women - the quiet, old-fashioned Miriam and
the modern divorcee Clara. Although initially deemed indecent and
rejected for publication, Sons and Lovers appeared for the first
time in 1913.
