Lady Chatterlay's Lover

the long version

When the last of D.H. Lawrence's novels was published in 1928, it was a prototypical class story regarded as notoriously pornographic. It remained on the banned books list until the early 1960's because it concentrated on the bold and passionate adulterous affair between Constance Chatterley and the gamekeeper of the Chatterley estate, Oliver Mellors. Constance had married wealthy Sir Clifford in 1917, and he was wounded in the war and confined to a wheelchair which contained his paralysis and impotence. Lady Chatterley has an affair with Mellors whose unconstrained sexuality offers her an irresistible solution to her husband's disregard. Lawrence's narrative of sexual love frozen by meritless comprehension and class awareness takes its place as one of literature's most erotic stories.
