Condition: Good
Description: "Sons and Lovers" by D.H. Lawrence. Duckworth, London. 1913 first UK edition first issue. Book in good condition, a few faint scattered instances of spotting, lower hinge slightly weakened, original cloth, light damp-staining. While the novel initially received a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement. It tells us more about Lawrence's life and his phases, as his first was when he lost his mother in 1910 to whom he was particularly attached. And it was from then that he met Frieda Richthofen, and around this time that he began conceiving his two other great novels, The Rainbow and Women In Love, which had more sexual emphasis and maturity.

In very good condition; with the publisher's original cloth binding, including a blind stamped illustration on the rear board. Gilt title on the cover and spine (although the gilt on the spine has somewhat darkened through oxidisation). Slight wear along the edges with some bumping at the corners, as expected with age and handling. The cloth along the spine is slightly loose and hints of cracking at inner hinge. But still intact and binding nevertheless remains tight. Title page is a cancel; includes an ex-library plate on front end-paper, and a library ticket pasted inside the rear end-paper, beside some marks from where prior stickers were removed. Pages themselves are clean with light foxing. Very occasional, small marks on some pages but never obstructing the text. Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. It traces emotional conflicts through the protagonist, Paul Morel, and his suffocating relationships with a demanding mother and two very different lovers, which exert complex influences on the development of his manhood. While the novel initially received a lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement.
