Gradually, Mrs. Morel's affections shift to her sons beginning with the oldest, William. As a boy, William is so attached to his mother that he doesn't enjoy the fair without her. As he grows older, he defends her against his father's occasional violence. Eventually, he leaves their Nottinghamshire home for a job in London, where he begins to rise up into the middle class. He is engaged, but he detests the girl's superficiality. William dies and Mrs. Morel is heartbroken.

When her second son Paul catches pneumonia she rediscovers her love for Paul. Both repulsed by and drawn to his mother, Paul is afraid to leave her but wants to go out on his own, and needs to experience love. Gradually, he falls into a relationship with Miriam, a farmer's daughter who attends his church.

The two take long walks and have intellectual conversations about books but Paul resists, in part because his mother disapproves. At Miriam's family's farm, Paul meets Clara Dawes, a young woman with, apparently, feminist sympathies who has separated from her husband, Baxter. After pressuring Miriam into a physical relationship, which he finds unsatisfying, Paul breaks with her as he grows more intimate with Clara, who is more passionate physically. But even she cannot hold him and he returns to his mother.

When his mother dies soon after, he is alone. Lawrence summarised the plot in a letter to Edward Garnett on 12 November She maintained that it showed both "great candor" and "much self-pity".

    As a re-emerging illustrator, winning the Book Illustration Competition opened a path to new publications, including a two-volume edition of War and Peace for The Folio Society, several illustration awards, showcases and exhibits. I am now represented by Heart Agency. The Folio Society and House of Illustration competition has played a big part in my recent success as an illustrator.

    I was recently commissioned by The Folio Society to work on another book — In Praise of Folly by the sixteenth-century humanist, Desiderius Erasmus — one of the most fascinating projects I have worked on. The mother, in her vast dissatisfaction and her need for an intense relationship with her son, is drawn in Sons and Lovers with clarity and complexity. The other two women, Miriam and Clara, are stranger, more elusive, more oddly distant. He portrays the mother with precision; she is the one who matters.

    While she lives, no escape from her is possible.

    For Lawrence, as he wrote the book, this was not merely pressing but unresolved experience. Trying to find a stable form for it would, because of its rawness and its closeness to him, be very difficult.

    His mother fell ill in August and died of cancer in December of that year. In August he broke off his engagement with Jessie Chambers, on whom the character of Miriam is based, and began a relationship with Louie Burrows. In Lawrence continued writing fitfully, beginning a fresh version, working sometimes with immense speed and then stopping.

    He sent pages to Chambers, who made many suggestions for improvements while she read this version of her own doomed relationship with Lawrence. He asked her for notes, which she provided, about their early years together.

    As she read some of the manuscript, she was angry about how much he had changed and distorted. She even rewrote some of his pages to make them closer to her memory of how things had actually been. Lawrence then did revisions early in , by which time he had also broken off his engagement with Burrows and met Frieda von Richthofen, with whom he would share the rest of his life. As he made the last revisions, Frieda, who knew something of Freud, became his reader and adviser. This meant that the very life described in the book, with Paul caught between his mother and two young women, and Paul slowly separating from his origins, was untidily coming to a conclusion as the book itself was being untidily created.

    On June 9 , Lawrence sent the manuscript to Heinemann, his publishers. By that time, the book was called 'Sons and Lovers'. While making many improvements, Garnett was also conscious of what readers and libraries would not tolerate. I reckon it is quite a great book. I shall not write quite in that style any more.
