The Letters of D.H. Lawrence, ed. James T. Boulton (1979), I, 184. Subsequent references will appear within the essay.

See Schorer's "Introduction" to Sons and Lovers: A Facsimile of the Manuscript. (1977) for a discussion of the possibility that Duckworth did secretly emend the proofs.

A comparison of this excerpt with a letter which Lawrence wrote to Jessie Chambers, 28 January, 1908, provides an excellent example of the relationship between Sons and Lovers and the author's own life: "When I look at you," he wrote to Jessie, "what I see is not the kissable and embraceable part of you, although it is so fine to look at, with the silken toss of hair curling over your ears. What I see is the deep spirit within. That I love and can go on loving all my life" (Letters, p. 42).
