 | Sons & Lovers by Benjamin DeMott, D. H. Lawrence, David Ellis, David Trotter, Flo Gibson
Based very closely on Lawrence`s own life, SONS AND LOVERS (1913) tells the story of young Paul Morel, son of the troubled union of an educated, upwardly mobile mother and an unlettered coal miner father. Although in later life Lawrence regretted his brutal portrait of his father, the hero of his novel is most definitely his mother`s boy who becomes increasingly dissatisfied with his mean, impoverished home in a Nottinghamshire coal town. He is drawn to a young woman named Miriam, with whom he reads poetry and speaks French; his mother fears Paul`s attraction to Miriam will jeopardize her own relationship with him, and she succeeds in coming between them. Paul then begins an affair with Clara, a married woman and a feminist. When Paul`s mother becomes fatally ill and dies, Paul rejects his background for good, resolves to forget both Miriam and Clara, and sets out with renewed resolution on a quest for a life of his own. Unique for its sexual frankness and working-class background, SONS AND LOVERS is Lawrence`s first major achievement, and a groundbreaking step forward in the history of English realistic fiction. AUTHOR: Benjamin DeMott, D. H. Lawrence, David Ellis, David Trotter, Flo Gibson

 | The Golden Bowl by Edgar Box, Flo Gibson, Henry James, Patricia Crick, Virginia Llewellyn Smith
Possibly James's most complex and difficult work, THE GOLDEN BOWL concerns four characters: the American art connoisseur Adam Verver, his daughter Maggie, Maggie's old school friend Charlotte Stant, and Charlotte's ex-suitor Prince Amerigo. The fabulously wealthy Ververs encounter the prince on their European tour, and he and Maggie fall in love and are married. When Charlotte comes to visit, Adam Verver asks her to marry him. The two couples settle in London, where Maggie begins to suspect the previous liaison between her husband and her friend. Desperately in love with the prince and unable to bear the presence of his old lover, Maggie persuades her father to take Charlotte back to America to live, without revealing to him what she knows. Impressed by Maggie's handling of the delicate situation, the prince falls truly in love with her. A golden bowl found in a Bloomsbury antique shop, and later smashed to pieces, serves as the emblem for the complicated web of love and betrayal James deals with in this novel.
