Items related to Sons And Lovers
Tess is driven by poverty into the service of her wealthy relations. Her lowly position leads her to become the victim of her cousin Alec, her seducer and her nemesis. When she marries Angel Clare, who is himself far from innocent, she confesses her past, but Clare is unforgiving and cruelly leaves her to face her destiny alone. This unforgettable novel exhibits the hallmarks of Hardy's best art: a keen sense of tragedy and a sharp critique of social hypocrisy. This newly edited edition contains the original Prefaces and a map outlining the topography of Tess's wanderings.

Review:
"He's an intoxicator, a very great writer, punished by the feminists and their ludicrous opinions. The short stories are among the best in the language. I re-read Sons and Lovers and The Rainbow recently and thought them wonderful... Has there ever been anyone like him for bringing places and people so vividly to life?" (Doris Lessing)
"Lawrence's masterly portraiture of the human impulse in his fiction had strength and depth...He tore at the rock of life with hand and implement... in Sons and Lovers he fashioned the hard substance of his place and people in memorable ways." (Guardian, March 1930)
"An affecting portrait of a mining family torn apart by class divisions and individual desire at the turn of the century" (Guardian)
"His fierce love for his mother warring with the need to follow his own desires - analysed with a vigorous relentlessness and pungent imagery - makes this a work whose power stands the test of time" (Sunday Times)
"When I was 13 or 14 this was the book I couldn't put down. It's very good teenager territory" (Jonathan Pryce Daily Express)
