Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence. The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. While the novel initially incited 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.
The third published novel of D. H. Lawrence, taken by many to be his earliest masterpiece, tells the story of Paul Morel, a young man and budding artist. Richard Aldington explains the semi-autobiographical nature of this masterpiece:
When you have experienced Sons and Lovers you have lived through the agonies of the young Lawrence striving to win free from his old life. Generally, it is not only considered as an evocative portrayal of working-class life in a mining community, but also an intense study of family, class and early sexual relationships.
The original 1913 edition was heavily edited by Edward Garnett who removed 80 passages, roughly a tenth of the text. The novel is dedicated to Garnett. Garnett, as the literary advisor to the publishing firm Duckworth, was an important figure in leading Lawrence further into the London literary world during the years 1911 and 1912. It was not until the 1992 Cambridge University Press edition was released that the missing text was restored.
Sons and Lovers is a 1960 CinemaScope British film adaptation of the D. H. Lawrence 1913 novel of the same name. It was adapted by T. E. B. Clarke and Gavin Lambert, directed by Jack Cardiff. and stars Trevor Howard, Dean Stockwell, Wendy Hiller, Mary Ure, William Lucas and Donald Pleasence.
The film won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography (Freddie Francis) and received nominations in six additional categories, and was entered into the 1960 Cannes Film Festival.
A young man with artistic talent who lives in a close-knit, English coal-mining town during the early 20th century finds himself inhibited by his emotionally manipulative, domineering mother — a literary, psychological interpretation of the Oedipus story. Gertrude Morel, miserable in her marriage, puts her hope into her son, Paul. In her attempt to manipulate Paul's life she jealously attempts to prevent Paul from having a relationship with any woman. However, Paul goes to the city for a job and becomes enchanted with self-actualized and "liberated" feminist co-worker, Mrs. Clara Dawes, who is married. Paul and Clara become involved sexually and Clara realizes that Paul's emotional attachment, as with her own, lies with another person — in Paul's case, his mother. Gertrude learns of Paul's involvement with Clara, and she slips into a morose depression and physical sickness. Paul flees to his mother, to care for her and sit by her side. After his mother's death, Paul meets the girlfriend of his youth, Miriam, and tells her that because of his codependency with his mother he intends to live the rest of his life without any serious relationship with another woman — in essence fulfilling his mother's desire and objective.

Feeling just the same as me
It's hidden in the habits of the life that we both lead
And I remember, we were chased down every mile,
Not let off for a moment,
But now it's wearing us both out.
So we can waste our time, with all these tired stories.
We can make up our own minds.
Let's get lost.
Loose our heads, turn our alarm clocks off.
Live a little more for the moment, live a little more for now.
Forget all the costs, lets reclaim these crowns that we have lost
Live a little more for the moment.
And they'll sing Long Live the King.
Now we look back,
On every single day,
On every word we whispered, and every plan we made,
And I see you with those eyes, china blue,
I don't know where we're going,
Darling I'm with you.
And we can waste our time, with all these tired stories.
We can make up our own minds.
Let's get lost.
Loose our heads, turn our alarm clocks off.
Live a little more for the moment, live a little more for now.
Forget all the costs, lets reclaim these crowns that we have lost
Live a little more for the moment.
And they'll sing Long Live the King.
Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live the King
Long live the King
Let's get lost.
Loose our heads, turn our alarm clocks off.
Live a little more for the moment, live a little more for now.
Forget all the costs, lets reclaim these crowns that we have lost
Live a little more for the moment.
And they'll sing Long Live the King.
Long live the King
