Sons and Lovers

In 1999, the Modern Library ranked Sons and Lovers ninth on a list of
the 100 best novels in English of the 20th century.

It contains a frequently quoted use of the English dialect word nesh. The
speech of several protagonists is represented in Lawrences written
interpretation of the Nottinghamshire Dialect, which also features in several of
his poems.
