Lady Chatterly's Lover

Constance Chatterley feels trapped in her marriage to Sir Clifford. He is paralyzed from the waist down, a war injury from World War I, and therefore unable to fulfill the marital duties, both physically and emotionally. He therefore encourages his wife to have an affair with a man from the same social class as them, but Constance is instead interested in Mellors, the new gamekeeper. With its exploration of sexuality and class, Lady Chatterley’s Lover [1929] is one of the most controversial novels in English literature.

D. H. LAWRENCE [1885-1930] was one of the greatest English writers of the 20th century. Lawrence's depictions of erotica and sexuality led to several of his novels being banned and censored. He lived in self-imposed exile for four years due to the reception of his novels.
