Sons And Lovers (illustrated) - eBook

William begins to be annoyed with the way that she acts much grander than his family, and he tells his mother that he only feels fond of the girl when he is around her in the evenings; otherwise, he has no feelings for her. Paul has Monday afternoons off from work, and one Monday his mother tells him that they have been invited to see Mr. Leivers on his new farm. They decide to go that afternoon. They have a nice walk through the countryside on the way there, and then are welcomed and given a tour of the farm when they arrive.

In , Lawrence met and fell in love with Frieda Weekley, nee von Richthofen. Frieda, who was the wife of Ernest Weekley, a professor at Nottingham University, left her husband, and three children to be with Lawrence, and they travelled to Bavaria, Austria, Germany and Italy, before returning back to England. July , shortly after her divorce from Ernest Weekley. They had intended to return to Italy in August, but this was prevented by the outbreak of the first world war, trapping the couple in England.

They moved to Cornwall, staying at Tregerthen Cottage in Zennor, but living near the south coast, and overlooking the British shipping lanes, with a German wife, and with Britain at war with Germany, this only served to compound Lawrence's problems. These were very troubled times for the couple, They were both accused of spying for Germany, and Lawrence's novel, 'The Rainbow', was banned for its alleged obscenity, with over copies of the book being destroyed on the orders of the Bow Street magistrates.

This caused great financial hardship to Lawrence, and damaged his chances of getting further novels published in England. It was hardly surprising that Frieda was mistrusted in Cornwall, she and Lawrence were often heard singing German songs as they walked along the cliffs, and her cousin was the German pilot, and air ace, Baron Manfred von Richthofen, also known as the Red Baron. Manfred's brother, Lothar von Richthofen, was said to be responsible for the unsubstantiated shooting down, and resulting death, of Captain Albert Ball, Nottingham's very own air ace.

Lawrence and Frieda were expelled from Cornwall in , because of the spying allegations, and with not a penny to their name, they returned to London, where they were looked after by friends. Later Lawrence's sister Ada, came to their rescue, paying the rent for them at Mountain Cottage, near Middleton-by-Wirksworth, in Derbyshire, where they stayed until ,.

This combined with his outspokenness on sex was too much for the puritanical history of the English which periodically asserts itself. Lawrence had left Eastwood in , shortly after this picture was taken, and 11 years later, after the first world war had ended, he left England. At this time he was greatly disillusioned, after being persecuted for his 'obscene' style of writing, and also because of his marriage to Frieda. Lawrence returned to England briefly in , to spend Christmas with his sisters, before returning back to New Mexico.

I can find no record of him attending his father's funeral, in This was the novel that was to posthumously make him a household name, all around the world. Lady Chatterley's Lover was published in England in , thirty years after Lawrence's death. The publishers, 'Penguin Books', were prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act , but after a lengthy trial, in which many eminent authors were called by the defence lawyers as witnesses, Penguin Books were acquitted.

Lady Chatterley's Lover was released into the bookshops, and the paperback version was quickly snapped up by queues of buyers, eager to see what all the fuss had been about. The controversial swear words, and sexually descriptive passages, were easily found in used copies of the book, either by the finger marks on the edges of the pages, or by just by letting the pages of the book fall open. Lawrence last visited England, and the Eastwood area, in August, Lawrence died of tuberculosis in Vence, France, less than 4 years later, on the 2nd.

March , aged He was buried in the old Vence cemetery, but his body was later exhumed in March , at the request of Frieda.

DH Lawrence's Birthplace Museum

His remains were cremated at Marseilles, ready to be taken by boat to Taos, in New Mexico, but there is speculation as to whether the ashes arrived at their destination. Lawrence's headstone, pictured below , or tombstone, as it would be known in other countries, was constructed as a concrete base, with beach pebbles fashioned into the shape of a phoenix, and measures 24in. The stone was removed from the cemetery in Vence after Lawrence's exhumation, and later transported to England by Mrs.

The headstone is now on display in the birthplace of Lawrence, at 8a Victoria Street in Eastwood. This headstone was previously housed at Eastwood Library, and I would like to give a special mention to Pat Bonsall of Eastwood Library, for the excellent help and co-operation given when taking this image.

Eastwood Library now hosts a comprehensive selection of literature written by Lawrence, and also about Lawrence. The phoenix bird, depicted on the headstone, was probably inspired by the following paragraph, taken from Lawrence's book, The Rainbow, where Will Brangwen had carved a wooden butter stamper for Anna Lensky, which she used to imprint the phoenix symbol on the butter made at the farm, as a form of trademark.

In it he carved a mythological bird, a phoenix, something like an eagle, rising on symmetrical wings, from a circle of very beautiful flickering flames that rose upwards from the rim of the cup. In the morning, however, when the butter was made, she fetched his seal in place of the old wooden stamper of oak-leaves and acorns. She was curiously excited to see how it would turn out.

Strange, the uncouth bird moulded there, in the cup-like hollow, with curious, thick waverings running inwards from a smooth rim. She pressed another mould. Strange, to lift the stamp and see that eagle-beaked bird raising its breast to her. She loved creating it over and over again. And every time she looked, it seemed a new thing come to life. Every piece of butter became this strange, vital emblem. Angelo Ravagli was then the lover of Lawrence's widow, and he was entrusted with the task of taking Lawrence's ashes, in the beautiful vase which Frieda had chosen, back to New Mexico.

Later, when back in New Mexico, and after drinking with his guests, the de Haulleville's, Ravagli confessed to throwing away Lawrence's ashes between Villefranche and Marseilles, before sailing on the 'Conde di Savoiain' to New York. This was to save him from the trouble, and expense, of shipping the ashes to the USA. He said that he had mailed the vase from Marseilles to New York, and then, after arriving in New York, put some local ashes in the vase, before taking the vase to Taos.

He later had those ashes made into a concrete slab, which became Lawrence's shrine, at the Kiowa ranch, at San Cristobal, near Taos. So it seems that despite Frieda's wishes, and popular belief, DH Lawrence's remains were scattered across the fields of France, near to the Rhone river, to be dispersed around the world by the Mistral winds, which in retrospect, was probably more in keeping with Lawrence's philosophy.
