Notes and Introduction by David Ellis, University of Kent at
Canterbury. With its four-letter words and its explicit
descriptions of sexual intercourse, Lady Chatterley's Lover is the
novel with which D.H. 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 and signalled the defeat of Establishment prudery. Yet
Lawrence himself was hardly a liberationist and the conservativism
of many aspects of his novel would later lay it open to attacks
from the political avant-garde and 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, and of the
tender love which then develops between her and 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, and to ask themselves what lessons there might be for the
21st century in his intense exploration of the complicated
relations between love and sex.
