This was the first book that Anais Nin published.
- D. H. Lawrence: Lady Chatterley's Lover
Perhaps the most famous of Lawrence's novels, the 1928 Lady Chatterley's Lover is no longer distinguished for the
once-shockingly explicit treatment of its subject matter--the adulterous affair between a sexually unfulfilled upper-class
married woman and the game keeper who works for the estate owned by her wheelchaired husband. Now that we're
used to reading about sex, and seeing it in the movies, it's apparent that the novel is memorable for better reasons:
namely, that Lawrence was a masterful and lyrical writer, whose story takes us bodily into the world of its characters.
- D. H. Lawrence: The Rainbow
In this 1915 saga of several generations of a Midlands family, Lawrence expresses an almost mystical tie between sex
and the "rhythm of eternity."

Sons and Lovers was the first modern portrayal of a phenomenon that later, thanks to Freud, became easily recognizable
as the Oedipus complex. Never was a son more indentured to his mother's love and full of hatred for his father than Paul
Morel, D.H. Lawrence's young protagonist. Never, that is, except perhaps Lawrence himself. In his 1913 novel he
grappled with the discordant loves that haunted him all his life--for his spiritual childhood sweetheart, here called Miriam,
and for his mother, whom he transformed into Mrs. Morel.
