Abstract: D. H. Lawrence seems to have found the sense of being in touch with England but lifted outside his old life at once slightly disorientating and pleasantly stimulating. By 15 October he had completed three-fifths of Paul Morel, which he now wanted to call Sons and Lovers. The change of title indicates a shift of focus in the novel away from Paul Morel to an analysis of the damaging consequences of excessive maternal love for both Paul and his elder brother, William. As Christmas approached, Lawrence could reflect on the transformation in his circumstances since January and his convalescence in Bournemouth. His first volume of poems, Love Poems and Others, was scheduled for publication early in the new year. The problem with fashioning a steady literary career for himself could be traced to the nature of the breakthrough Lawrence had made in his writing since he had met Frieda Weekley.
