Lady Chatterley's Lover

Originally published in Italy in 1928, and unavailable in Britain until 1960, when it was the subject of an infamous obscenity trial, Lady Chatterley`s Lover is now regarded as one of the pivotal novels of the twentieth century. Lawrence`s determination to explore every aspect - sexual, social, psychological - of Lady Chatterley`s adulterous liaison with the gamekeeper Oliver Mellors makes for a profound meditation on the human condition, the forces of nature and the social constraints that people struggle to overcome. Containing autobiographical elements and set in the author`s native Nottinghamshire, Lawrence`s final novel had a profound impact on twentieth-century culture and sexual attitudes, while confirming his standing as one of the most eminent fiction writers that England has produced.
