Paul Morel

Full of powerful, spontaneous, dramatic writing, this early version of D.H. Lawrences popular autobiographical novel Sons and Lovers contains more humor, charm, raw violence, and nervous energy than its finalized counterpart. It contains many discarded episodes, some of them stories from Lawrences childhood that are not recorded anywhere else. This volume also includes documents written by Lawrences girlfriend Jessie Chambersthe model for Miriamin which she gives Lawrence hostile criticisms and writes out her own versions of some episodes. A fragment of a novel about Lawrences mothers childhood, facsimiles of manuscript pages, maps, and scholarly notes are also provided.
