Lady Chatterley’s Lover – D. H. Lawrence
Lady Chatterley’s Lover is a classic romantic and erotic novel by D. H. Lawrence. This notorious novel is based on the physical and emotional relationship between a working-class man and an upper-class woman. Basically a bit of rough. Its explicit descriptions of sex were a completely new idea in literature.
The book was first published in the UK in 1928 but was heavily edited. In 1960 there was a huge media circus trial at the court case after Penguin had published an unexpurgated version. It was mainly use of the words “fuck” and “cunt” that were the issue. Penguin won and ever since the sluice gates have been open and we are basically drowning in filth – some of which I really love but most of which is awful drivel. But hey that’s just Olivia for you (smiley face with wink).
