description: Lawrence's celebrated novel (1928) with its explicit description of sexual union and uncompromising use of four-letter words, caused it to be banned in England until as late as 1960 when Penguin Books took the risk and were rewarded with perhaps the most famous obscenity trial of the 20th century. Their acquittal had a profound effect on writing and publishing in subsequent decades.
