Sons and Lovers (New Casebooks, 80)

A new collection of modern essays on Lawrence's first major novel representative of both new and classic critical approaches. The essays - by leading critics such as Terry Eagleton, Kate Millett, Frank Kermode, John Goode and Paul Delany - explore a variety of ways of examining the novel including the psychoanalytic, feminist, marxist and formalist. The introduction sets these in the context of traditional ways of exploring the novel.
