These areas were entirely reliant on the coal mines for work because they were generally rural and slightly removed from the large, northern manufacturing towns, like Nottingham, where Paul gets a job in the novel.
The housing estate the Morels live on is typical of the mining communities which sprung up across the north of England during the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century. Sons and Lovers is set in the early decades of the twentieth century in an industrial mining community.
He was forced to return to Italy for the sake of his health in 1925 and died from tuberculosis in 1930. He eventually left England with Frieda in 1917 and moved to the United States. His 1920 novel, Women in Love, and his 1928 novel, Lady Chatterly’s Lover, were also banned on obscenity charges. This made him a controversial figure and he was accused of obscenity because of sexual content in his novel The Rainbow, which was banned in the UK. Lawrence took an anti-war stance to the outbreak of WW1 in Europe. They returned to England in 1913 and became involved with the London literary and intellectual scene. In 1912, Lawrence eloped with a married woman, Frieda Weekly, and the pair left Britain to travel Europe.
Lawrence was deeply affected by his mother’s death and based Sons and Lovers on this experience. He published his first novel, The White Peacock, in 1910 shortly before the death of his mother. He received recognition for his fiction when Chambers sent some of his work to a literary journal edited by the poet Ford Maddox Ford, and Lawrence then began to pursue writing as a career. He studied at Nottingham University and then got a job teaching at a university in London. During his recovery, Lawrence spent a great deal of time at a nearby farm where he became friends with Jessie Chambers, the inspiration for Miriam in Sons and Lovers. After school, he became a clerk in an office in the town but came down with pneumonia a few months later which forced him to leave his position. Lawrence loved the countryside surrounding his home and spent a great deal of time outside as a child. |1 .David Herbert Lawrence was born in a mining community in Northern England. |a Working class families |0 |z England |0 |v Fiction. |a Toronto : |b Oxford University Press, |c 1913.
