Edward William Garnett (1868–1937) was an English writer, critic and literary editor, who was instrumental in getting D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers published. Specifically, he ″acted as a reader for the firm of Duckworth. Garnett went through the manuscript, censoring some passages and cutting others until the novel was ten per cent shorter. He did not negotiate these changes with Lawrence, but sent the manuscript direct to the printers.... Garnett changed ′hips′ to ′body′ and ′thighs′ to ′limbs.′ He removed the word ′natural′ from ′He could smell her faint natural perfume.′″ Lawrence accepted the changes, saying ″It's got to sell, I've got to live.″
