About this title

Review:

No other writer with his imaginative standing has in our time written books that are so open to life." --Alfred Kazin

Sons and Lovers is a great novel because it has the ring of something written from deeply felt experience. The past remembered, it conveys more of Lawrence's own knowledge of life than anything else he wrote. His other novels appear somehow artificial beside it --Kate Millet, Critic
