Only a month after its original publication in 1915, this novel was banned. Its sensual and explicit themes, by now characteristic of D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930), were considered particularly offensive in wartime by many reviewers, and the saga of the Brangwen family would not reappear in Britain until 1926.
Originally rejected for publication on the grounds of indecency, Sons and Lovers finally appeared in 1913. It is the first major portrayal of a mining community from an insider's perspective. Incorporating many elements of Lawrence's own difficult youth, it explores the difficult relationships of its protagonist, Paul Morel.
