MODERN LIBRARY # 333 The Modern Library of the World's Best Books Introduction by Alfred Kazin. "Sons and Lovers, published in 1913 when Lawrence was in his twenties, reveals the range of Lawrence's power. It is considered by many the great work of his youth. Sons and Lovers, to some extent autobiographical, is the story of the emotional crises of a son growing to manhood in the Nottingham coalfields amid the conflict between a possessive and strong mother of middle-class aspirations and a weak, coal-miner father, told with an intensity of feeling and psycholigical insight that has rarely been duplicated. But it is also a searing picture of the last phase of the Industiral revolution, of a materialist society that dwarfs the individual and blunts his life. In this novel Lawrence combines the hardest sort of realism and an almost lyric imagery and rhythm." Kazin Very good blue cloth. Book circa 1967. Toledano Spine # 14. Fujita yellow endpapers.
