Name Sons and lovers

Comments Lawrence rewrote the work four times until he was happy with it. Although before publication the work was usually called Paul Morel, Lawrence finally settled on Sons and

Lovers. Just as the new title makes the work less focused on a central character, many of the

later additions broadened the scope of the work, thereby making the work less

autobiographical. While some of the edits by Garnett were on the grounds of propriety or

style, others would once more narrow the emphasis back upon Paul.
