BOOK 131: SONS AND LOVERS: D.H
LAWRENCE
Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by
the English writer D. H.
Lawrence. The Modern
Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best
novels of the 20th century. While the novel initially incited a
lukewarm critical reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today
regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's
finest achievement.
It contains a frequently quoted use
of the English dialect word "nesh".
The speech of several protagonists is represented in Lawrence's written
interpretation of the Nottinghamshire
dialect, which also features in several of his poems.
