Birds of feathers [hardcover] Charles Dickens

sons and lovers is considered to be D.H.Lawrence’s first mature novel. What is unique about this novel is its profound psychological insights into the complex relationships between son and mother and between son and other women. Novel is largely autobiographical and reflects Lawrence’s life at Nottinghamshire coalfields before he left home. This is perhaps the first English novel with a truly working class bachground. it is a provocativ portrait of an artist torn between love for his possessive mother and desire for two young beautiful women. Gertrude is Paul’s puritanical mother who concentrates all her love and attention on her son Paul. The novel begins like a nineteenth century realistic novel but ends as a twentieth century novel exploring a new field of psychicc relationships.
