Notes & Introduction by David Ellis University of Kent at Canterbury With its four-letter words & its explicit descriptions of sexual intercourse Lady Chatterley's Lover is the novel with which DH Lawrence is most often associated First published privately in Florence in 1928 it only became a world-wide best-seller after Penguin Books had successfully resisted an attempt by the British Director of Public Prosecutions to prevent them offering an unexpurgated edition The famous ' Lady Chatterley trial' heralded the sexual revolution of the coming decades & signalled the defeat of Establishment prudery Yet Lawrence himself was hardly a liberationist & the conservativism of many aspects of his novel would later lay it open to attacks from the political avant-garde & from feminists The story of how the wife of Sir Clifford Chatterley responds when her husband returns from the war paralysed from the waist down & of the tender love which then develops between her & her husband's gamekeeper is a complex one open to a variety of conflicting interpretations This edition of the novel offers an occasion for a new generation of readers to discover what all the fuss was about; to appraise Lawrence's bitter indictment of modern industrial society & to ask themselves what lessons there might be for the 21st century in his intense exploration of the complicated relations between love & sex ...
