儿子与情人：SONS AND LOVERS（英文版）

　　Sons and Lovers is a 1913 novel by the English writer D. H. Lawrence， who was described as "England's greatest novelist". The Modern Library placed it ninth on their list of the 100 best novels of the 20th century. While the novel initially received a lukewarm critical reception， along with allegations of obscenity， it is today regarded as a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement.　The original 1913 edition was heavily edited by Edward Garnett who removed 80 passages， roughly a tenth of the text. The novel is dedicated to Garnett. Garnett， as the literary advisor to the publishing firm Duckworth， was an important figure in leading Lawrence farther into the London literary world during the years 1911 and 1912. It was not until the 1992 Cambridge University Press edition was released that the missing text was restored.　Lawrence rewrote the work four times until he was happy with it. Although before publication the work was usually titled Paul Morel， Lawrence finally settled on Sons and Lovers .
