    Sons and lovers – David Herbert Lawrence

    Autobiographical
    Autobiographical novel means a novel which contains made up events and characters that are
    based on the Author’s own life and experience. It can be written by the person himself or herself
    sometimes with the assistance of a collaboration with other writers or ghost writer.
    Autobiographies became more popular with the rise of education and cheap painting, modern
    concepts of fame and celebrity which began to develop. Autobiographies were made famous in
    the mainstream literature by authors, such as Charles Dickens, john Stuart Mill etc.
    David Herbert Lawrence is a very original as well as controversial writer in modern times. His
    central themes are always personal and related to men and women. Lawrence is one of the best
    writers who presents great autobiographical accounts especially in his novel Sons and Lovers.
    At first, The autobiographical setting of Bestwood has a close resemblance with Eastwood, the
    place here Lawrence grew up as a child. Lawrence was born at a mining village in
    Nottinghamshire. In the novel, Lawrence also showed us the picture of coal-miners’ life in the
    English Midlands according to his life experience. His father, a coal miner with little education
    was a heavy drunkard. The miners did terrible hard labour in the dark and damp pits day and
    night, thus they risked their life. They became rough and peremptory gradually. Only the wine
    can make them forget their distress and fatigue temporarily. They ill-treated their wives and
    children. Meanwhile, their wives brought up children in the narrow and small houses.
    Then the fact that Lawrence was very close to his mother so much that even he admitted that his
    relationship with his mother interfered with his own relationships with women. Lawrence gives
    an account of his mother which shows how strongly she influenced the conception of Sons and
    Lovers. His relationship with his father was very much like Paul’s – both young men sided with
    their mothers and clung to them. As a young boy, he was sick and weak and preferred to stay at
    home with his mother and sisters rather than play with the boys.

    Sons and Lovers is an autobiographical account of Lawrence‘s early life. as almost all the
    characters of Sons and Lovers are the reflections of D.H. Lawrence himself and his surroundings
    of his early life, so that we can

    Lawrence gives an account of his mother which shows how strongly she influenced
    the conception of Sons and Lovers.
