Synopsis

Full of powerful, spontaneous, dramatic writing, this early version of D. H. Lawrence’s popular autobiographical novel Sons and Lovers contains more humor, charm, raw violence, and nervous energy than its finalized counterpart. It contains many discarded episodes, some of them stories from Lawrence’s childhood that are not recorded anywhere else. This volume also includes documents written by Lawrence’s girlfriend Jessie Chambers the model for Miriam in which she gives Lawrence hostile criticisms and writes out her own versions of some episodes. A fragment of a novel about Lawrence’s mother’s childhood, facsimiles of manuscript pages, maps, and scholarly notes are also provided.
