About This Item

New York : Limited Editions Club, 1975. Limited Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Slipcased. Sheila Robinson. Copy #1394 of only 2,000 copies privately produced for members of The Limited Editions Club in 1975--this copy is signed by the illustrator, Sheila Robinson, on the rear limitation page. A fine copy in heavy tan colored linen with a paper label on the spine and slipcase. Printed in Mt. Vernon New York on the Press of A. Colish. Lawrence's masterpiece was drawn from his own life experience of a strong mother who takes "love" beyond the realm of morally acceptable understanding. Very light soiling to the near-fine paper covered grey slipcase or the slipcase would also be fine

Synopsis

Though it is the author’s third novel, Sons and Lovers is often regarded as D.H. Lawrence’s masterpiece. The autobiographical work, which was originally titled Paul Morel after its protagonist, was set in motion with the death of Lawrence’s mother, Lydia. The author used the opportunity to reexamine his childhood, his relationship with his mother, and her psychological effect on his sexuality. Sons and Lovers had already been rejected by one publisher when Lawrence sent the manuscript to Edward Garnett of Gerald Duckworth and Company Ltd. Garnett made extensive editing suggestions and still — after Lawrence rewrote the manuscript for the fourth time — cut 80 passages, about 10% of the work, before its 1913 publication. At the time of publication, Sons and Lovers was criticized for being obscene. But the novel endured. It has been adapted for film multiple times, including the Academy Award winning 1960 film. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century.
