关于作者
David Herbert Lawrence, commonly known as D. H. Lawrence, was an influential and prolific English writer of the early 20th century, whose works encompass novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, and letters. Born on September 11, 1885, in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, Lawrence is often celebrated for his intense, sensuous prose and the themes of nature, sexuality, and instinct that pervade his work. His novel ‘Sons and Lovers’ (1913), widely regarded as a pivotal work in his literary canon, draws extensively on his own life experiences, offering profound insights into the complexities of family dynamics, love, and psychosexual development. This semi-autobiographical novel examines the intense relationship between a coal miner’s son and his possessive mother, reflecting Lawrence’s own upbringing and inner turmoil. A true modernist, Lawrence’s narrative style is characterized by his use of symbolism and exploration of human consciousness. Despite controversies over his explicit content leading to censorship and misapprehension during his lifetime, Lawrence’s exploration of human emotions and relationships has cemented his legacy as one of the significant figures in literary modernism (Moore, 1990; Squires, 2000). His groundbreaking representation of psychological depth remains influential, with ‘Sons and Lovers’ often heralded as one of the key novels of the 20th century (Kearney, 1989).
