Sons and lovers as a autobiographical novel?

Answer 1

sort of. it's more like a poetic autobiography in the sense that moods and tones resonate with those of the author, but the events and structure of the novel, like all fiction, cannot and does not represent reality

Answer 2

"Sons and Lovers" is not strictly an autobiographical novel, but it is heavily inspired by author D.H. Lawrence's own life. The novel draws from Lawrence's relationships with his parents and his coming-of-age experiences, although the characters and events are fictionalized. Lawrence's emotional exploration of family dynamics and personal growth in the novel reflects elements of his own life.
