Sons and Lovers, a story of workingclass England, is D. H. Lawrences third novel. It went through various drafts, and was titled "Paul Morel" until the final draft, before being published and met with an indifferent reaction from contemporary critics. Modern critics now consider it to be D. H. Lawrences masterpiece, with the Modern Library placing it ninth in its "100 Best EnglishLanguage Novels of the 20th Century." The novel follows the Morels, a family living in a coal town, and headed by a passionate but boorish miner. His wife, originally from a refined family, is dragged down by Morels classlessness, and finds her lifes joy in her children. As the children grow up and start leading lives of their own, they struggle against their mothers emotional drain on them. Sons and Lovers was written during a period in Lawrences life when his own mother was gravely ill. Its exploration of the Oedipal instinct, frank depiction of workingclass household unhappiness and violence, and accurate and colorful depiction of Nottinghamshire dialect, make it a fascinating window into the life of people not often chronicled in fiction of the day.
