Lady Chatterley''s Lover

Connies unhappy marriage to Clifford Chatterley is one scarred by mutual frustration and alienation. Crippled from wartime action, Clifford is confined to a wheelchair, while Connies solitary, sterile existence is contained within the narrow parameters of the Chatterley ancestral home, Wragby. She seizes her chance at happiness and freedom when she embarks on a passionate affair with the estates gamekeeper, Mellors, discovering a world of sexual opportunity and pleasure shed thought lost to her.

The explosive passion of Connie and Mellors relationship and the searing candour with which it is described marked a watershed in twentieth-century fiction, garnering Lady Chatterleys Lover a wide and enduring readership and lasting notoriety.

The text is taken from the privately published Authors Unabridged Popular Edition of 1930, the last to be supervised in D. H. Lawrences lifetime. It also includes his witty essay, My Skirmish with Jolly Roger, describing the pirating of this infamous novel.
