Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence · OverDrive: eBooks, audiobooks and videos for libraries Classic Literature Fiction Literature Published in England in 1932, Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence tells the story of a love affair between a young, married upper class woman and a working class man. Neglected and sexually unfulfilled by her husband, Lady Constance Chatterley discovers a new depth of passion during her affair with Oliver Mellors, a gamekeeper. The book caused enormous controversy upon its publication and the full text was not available in England for some thirty years after a first, censored version appeared. The relationship depicted crossed boundaries of both decency and the rigid class divisions of the day, but also communicated Lawrence's belief that both the body and mind must be acknowledged in order to live a full and happy life.

The unexpurgated edition was not allowed circulation in Great Britain until 1960. By comparison to today’s standards, passages that once scandalized, now seem quaint, even oddly innocent. But Lady Chatterley retains its appeal, not only as one of the first novels whose characters discussed sexuality openly, but as a moving story of a woman who defies convention to find happiness.

BK_RECO_006094 “No one ever wrote better about the power struggles of sex and love.” Doris Lessing, Nobel Prize–winning author “His best novel.” “Nobody concerned with the novel in our century can afford not to read it.” Lawrence Durrell, author of the Alexandria Quartet “It was a bomb, not a book.” Guardian (London) Listener Opinions by Jen | 1/20/2014 " I read this book because I have been trying to read some of the "classics" and also because it was a banned book and I wanted to see what the hype was about. For the time it was written it was definitely racy with lots of f*** and c*** words scattered throughout. There are plenty of sex scenes. Lawrence does look at the class issue and the difference between men and women in this book and makes you think about how things were and how far we have come, although some things really haven't changed. Parts of the book were utterly boring. I'm not sure I would recommend it to my friends. " by Kim | 1/15/2014 " I might give this one two and a half stars.

There were parts that I liked, and parts that annoyed me. I'm not sure that I can put into words my thoughts on this book. " by M O | 1/15/2014 " I now understand why this book was "revolutionary" for its time, it really discussed how sex and passion plays in the life of a woman quite liberally. The book was just okay for me, though. " by Kat Morrison | 1/12/2014 " I think the hype around the story ruined this for me because I expected more and felt a bit disappointed. Having said that, I enjoyed the story and the excellent character descriptions. " Lady Chatterley"s Lover: Amazon.co.uk: D. H.

Product details Publisher: William Heinemann; The Phoenix Edition edition (1961) ASIN: B000IZBLK0 By A Customer on 25 Sept. 2003 Format: Paperback Although I, like many others, began reading this book due to it's risque reputation, I gained far more from it than I could have imagined. Connie's frustrations with the modern world and her desire for something better touched me, and echoed my own hidden feelings. Regardless of the manner of writing, the philosophical (some would say long-winded) side-tracking, and the sex that it is famous for, I enjoyed every page, every sentence...yes, every word. Any woman who says she cannot relate to Connie has either experienced nothing of nature or felt no yearn for love.

As a 20 year old woman from the country who now lives in the town, I was entranced by the imagery of the landscape and the primal feelings it provokes within Connie, and indeed within myself. To any woman, or indeed, man: Read this book and you won't regret a page. 98 people found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Sending feedback... Thank you for your feedback.

Constance, Lady Chatterley, who married Clifford a month before he left for World War I, becomes his caretaker when he returns from war paralyzed from the waist down and impotent.

A writer who surrounds himself with intellectual friends, he regards Connie as his hostess and caregiver and does not understand her abject yearning for some life of her own. The distance between Constance and Clifford increases when Mrs. Bolton, a widow from the village becomes his devoted caretaker, and he becomes increasingly dependent upon her. In a remarkable scene, Clifford finally tells Connie that he'd like an heir, and he does not care whom she finds to be the father of "his" child. Connie, yearning for an emotional closeness which she has not experienced in a previous affair, soon becomes involved with Mellors, the estate's gamekeeper. Crude and anti-social, Mellors has an honesty and lack of pretension which Connie finds refreshing. Throughout the novel, Lawrence creates finely drawn characters whose interactions and gradual changes are explored microscopically. The growth of love between Connie and Mellors is complicated by the increasing self-centeredness of Clifford, whose outrage at rumors of their affair is motivated by Connie's choice of someone so far beneath her. To Clifford, the separation of the social classes is an integral and inevitable part of life. Read more › 2 Comments 52 people found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Please try again By Bacchus TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 28 Aug. 2014 Format: Mass Market Paperback For such a well known book with so many reviews, it is hard for me to know whether I can add anything to what others have written. One of my teachers at school grew up in Nottinghamshire and used to tell us that he grew up with people who had the mentalities of characters from D H Lawrence. He was not a great fan of Lawrence, regarding him as a bit of someone you would want to avoid in a pub. We all had copies of this book, knowing about its notoriety - I had my parents' early 1960s Penguin edition, which apparently sold over 2 million copies on the back of an obscenity trial testing out the Obscene Publications Act in 1959. I never got far with it at the time. 30-odd years further on, the obscenity trial and its titillation potential are forgotten. There are plenty of books which are far more graphic in their description of sexual intercourse than this one.

So, what can you derive from this book? For me, it is a beautifully written and quite exquisite account of the breakdown of a marriage and the union of people from different social classes. Such events are less shocking now than they must have been in the 1920s. There is much discussion about the times and environment that they are living in and also quite fascinating insights into personal relationships. Some people have commented that the characters are one dimensional; I disagree. The three main players in the triangle are all fascinating. Sir Clifford Chatterley is not a particularly attractive character, a terrible snob and quite unbending to his wife's unhappiness. However,.he has great intelligence and insight as well as talent and energy. However, as his nurse Mrs Bolton observes at one point he has a steel like exterior with a soft inside.

Please try again By Tara on 29 July 2011 Format: Paperback To really appreciate this novel, the reader has to be able to appreciate the context it was written in.

At the time that DH Lawrence wrote Lady Chatterly's Lover, the idea of a married upper-class lady of a manor having an affair with anyone, would have been scandalous. Think back, readers, to a time long before women's rights, the vagina monologues, women in politics, and so on. Think back to a time of corsets and tight lips, of compromises, of a strong ruling class, and of ruling etiquette. The fact that Lawrence broke so many taboos with this book, by writing not only about the lady's unfulfilled personal life and her affair, but of her affair with the gamekeeper of her manor. Had Lady Chatterly not conveniently been left a small fortune to support herself with, she would have fallen quickly from grace and into the gutter, much to the pleasure of the rest of society- for any high brow lady who chose to have relations with someone as lowly as a gamekeeper would have been seen as fit for such punishment at the time. Think of Diana and Dodi for more context, if you must. However, Lawrence treats his characters well.

When I started reading this book I was of course aware of all the stigma and controversy surrounding it, but I also know that it was not uncommon for texts to be labelled as 'indecent' in Lawrence's time, as so many things were back then. To speak openly of sexual relations, particularly between members of different classes, would have been a massive slur in Lawrence's England. I expected, then, some rudeness, some crudeness, and some deliberate bating of the classes. What I found however, was that even in today's sexually open society, I was shocked by Lawrence's writing. I have never read anything quite like it- and I've read Mills and Boon! Read more › 1 Comment 15 people found this helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Sending feedback...

Lawrence Narrator: John Lee Publisher: Tantor Format: Unabridged Audiobook Delivery: Instant Download Audio Length: 12.25 hours Regular Price: $20.99 Add to Cart — or — Publisher Description The last and most famous of D. H. Lawrence’s novels, Lady Chatterley’s Lover was published in 1928 and banned in England and the United States as pornographic. While sexually tame by today’s standards, the book is memorable for better reasons—Lawrence’s masterful and lyrical prose and a vibrant story that takes us bodily into the world of its characters. As the novel opens, Constance Chatterley finds herself trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to a rich aristocrat whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent. After a brief but unsatisfying affair with a playwright, Lady Chatterley enjoys an extremely passionate relationship with the gamekeeper on the family estate, Oliver Mellors. As Lady Chatterley falls in love and conceives a child with Mellors, she moves from the heartless, bloodless world of the intelligentsia and aristocracy into a vital and profound connection rooted in sexual fulfillment.

Through this novel, Lawrence attempted to revive in the human consciousness an awareness of savage sensuality, a sensuality with the power to free men and women from the enslaving sterility of modern technology and intellectualism. Perhaps even more relevant today than when it first appeared, Lady Chatterley’s Lover is a triumph of passion and an erotic celebration of life.

IT highlights the class differences in England in the early 1900's, or mid. I love how the female protagonist goes outside of her circle and follows her heart. It also deals a lot with the issues surrounding taking a stand and leaving your circle. " by Haley | 2/10/2014 " I'm still reading Lady Chatterly's Lover. I was interested in it because it was so controversial. Now that I'm reading it, I can see just why it was so controversial, and I'm not sure if I truly want to continue with it. At least now I know what all the fuss was about.

Well written and a keen insight into various views and opinions of love versus sex versus territory. It really is rather thought-provoking . . . actually, the more I write about it, the more I think I really will continue to read it. 'Tis all. " by James | 2/10/2014 " What do women want from a man ? Read this book to find out. " by Kathleen | 2/6/2014 " It is no longer a taboo to talk about sex I think. And the pursuit of a wonderful sex life is totally justified. Though it leaves behind the issue of marriage being a bondage by God. " > Show All L | 2/3/2014 " It reminded me a great deal of Thoreau. She went into the woods because she wished to live deliberately, to feel and touch, and to breath in the vitality of life. " Elizabeth Tran | 2/2/2014 " What I find to be the most interesting thing about this book is how sex precedes love. It's not something of the "norm," yet in this mechanical setting of today, depicted by Lawrence, it all works out.

" Jasmine Quintana | 1/27/2014 " Read this with a book group on BarnesandNoble.com about 9 years ago. It was really good. It's interesting to see what was considered risque back then compared to today. " Katie Dreyer | 1/27/2014 " After reading this novel, I wonder if its gained a place on so many bookshelves merely because of the shock it created when it was first published. The writing is lyrical, if a bit archaic. And perhaps because of Lawrence's rather formal writing style his sexually charged descriptions seem especially appalling. This book may be one of the first true romance novels - and maybe it would be better left on the shelf next to Danielle Steel than grouped among the classics. Despite all the steamy sex and copious use of the 'f word', this was a slow and rather dull read. " Jessica Gee | 1/24/2014 " I only read the dirty parts of this. :) " Dmitri | 1/18/2014 " Crazy to think how much controversy it caused and how tame it is by modern standards.

" Jules | 1/12/2014 " Sexy and surprisingly romantic, this is an adult book both in terms of the racy material and the ideas. Although it dragged in a few parts, and I glazed over during some of the discussions of class, I appreciated that Constance and Oliver were not passive players in their lives, but actively determined their outcome by pursuing happiness, even outside the bounds of "propriety." Worth the read, not just for the pretty cover on my edition. " Lynn Hofer | 1/11/2014 " As a teenager, this book was sooo romantic and racy! " Amy Summers | 1/9/2014 " Banned Book Week Book 1 " Phill Gee | 1/9/2014 " It helped to finally end Queen Victoria's reign in Britain in the 60's " Jana | 1/8/2014 " So boring, especially for a book banned until the 1960s in some places. " Dina P. | 1/7/2014 " Ok. it's a classic book. I just despise the idea of cheating.

although one of the character said that both Lady Chatterley and her husband are right on their own way, it just doesn't feel right for me. " Alice Ciaccio | 1/3/2014 " I know this is a classic - but I simply could not get into it. I found it very dry and tedious to read. I spent more time trying to figure out what they were talking about then enjoying what I was reading. Too many metaphors for all the sexual activity. " Maya | 12/29/2013 " One of the sweetest, sincerest, most moving love stories I have ever read. " Alivantassel | 12/25/2013 " Highly tantalizing. . .of course nothing like Ann Rice's "Sleeping Beauty". More settle with a romantic scandal. " Sartor | 12/25/2013 " Porn to upset the critics. Lawrence can't write prose. Bavarian Gentians is good though.

" Laura | 12/16/2013 " Put simply: a vintage tale of two adulterous F buddies, but with all the corresponding gender stereotypes ("I am a man! I don't talk about feelings!" and "I am an emotional woman! I want a baby!") of that era. Still amazing to think this book was published when it was, though, so for an extra challenge, try reading it in the mindset of that period. " Erin Nissley | 12/9/2013 " This book was surprisingly filthy. I didn't expect quite so many fairly graphic sex scenes. But in addition to lady chatterly getting down, there are also some interesting ruminations of the collapse of the coal industry and some beautifully written descriptive passages. ure and " Prajesh Patel | 11/28/2013 " According to me it's really good and at least you can improve your knowledge as well.. " Leslye | 11/16/2013 " One of my favorite classics!

" Saikat Baksi | 10/29/2013 " i like lawrence...whatever he has ever written " Aubrey Hales-Lewis | 10/23/2013 " Not sure if I'll finish... " Tracy | 9/24/2013 " What an interesting book -- about finding pure connection. Maybe not as good as some of his other novels in the literary sense, but he's passionate about his subject here (no pun intended). The sex scenes got a little florid, but ulimately this was a moving and uplifting book. " Caitlin Spivey | 9/19/2013 " Fantastic book. A must-read for everyone. " Kimberly Maloney | 9/13/2013 " I adore this book and I've read it twice! I actually came across the British tv mini-series of this book, and it was amazing! I've watched it several times as well! " Louis | 8/24/2013 " Great perspective on love and love making from a woman's point of view and a viral strong man. Who knew how to please.

Lot of young men learn a lot from him. " Jessica McReaderpants | 7/23/2013 " I can get better smut elswhere. I need to go back and read it for content. :) Written in an older more prosaic style, it is a slowmoving narrative. " Lindsey | 7/17/2013 " I liked this one. It was an interesting look at books deemed obscene. " Stephanielle Landers | 6/25/2013 " Despite the controversy the book stirs up among feminist critics, I always love reading this older style of writing. " Anna-ruth | 6/8/2013 " I really loved this. It was so hard to get into something afterwards because it was so good. Beautifully written and contraversial. A great read. " Angelica | 6/4/2013 " A woman, her desires, her freedom to choose and enjoy and love, finally a man who got the guts! to rite about a woman crachter to enjoy sex and desire.....all the other writers would have had lady Chatterly dead for her actions.

Revolutionary book for the time it has been published. " April Miska | 3/22/2013 " Lovely. I have all the naughty parts marked " Daryl | 2/11/2013 " It's like someone decided to discuss as many binary opposites as possible and stuck them in a novel. " Karen Alexander | 1/19/2013 " I liked it and I decided to read more of D.H. Lawrence. " Azalia Daniela | 12/4/2012 " Read in spanish and I disliked it a lot! " Trista | 10/2/2012 " This book, for the time it was written, was outlandish and vulgar. Nowadays though, it's just another book. I suppose this means that even now, the book can make one ponder society and how it evolves. Overall the book is ok, though I was disappointed with the ending.

" Leni King | 9/16/2012 " Read many years ago, but a classic bit of titillation, though tame by modern standards :) " Marian | 8/29/2012 " This book was a little dense with descriptions of various body parts, nature, and general scene-setting. But, it was one of the easiest reads of a "classic" novel. " John Oxoheartsvoken | 6/30/2012 " Fantastic. Comparison of rich and poor is raw and realistic. Love and lust explored completely in an old fashioned away. Written in 1929 and banned in Boston. "But you want me to have my satisfaction , don't you?" Connie " Jean Reynolds | 5/31/2012 " read this waayyy back in my youth...it's on my to re-read list " Ting | 5/17/2012 " I have now read this book a total of three times and each time at a different period of my life. This last time, I think, I finally understand what D.H. Lawrence was trying to convey. Read it and see what you think.

" James Metcalf | 4/24/2012 " Really brilliant. The first couple of chapters were perhaps a little slow and repetitive, but the flow soon took over and what followed was magnificent. " Donna | 2/25/2012 " None of the people in this book are likeable or especially interesting, and their conversations get repetitive. There are a lot of beautifully-written descriptions, unfortunately they tend to get lost among the main characters talking out the themes of the novel. " Rebekah | 2/13/2012 " Racy, beautifully written work of literature. " Brietta | 10/4/2011 " I've never read D.H. Lawrence before, but based upon this novel, I'm guessing he didn't care too much for humanity. A bit too much existential angst / nihilism and talk about loins and haunches, but now I can say I've read it! " Trista | 8/13/2011 " This book, for the time it was written, was outlandish and vulgar. Nowadays though, it's just another book.

I suppose this means that even now, the book can make one ponder society and how it evolves. Overall the book is ok, though I was disappointed with the ending. " Arwa | 8/6/2011 " To sum it up, social lives always hide what we really are. The best way to be yourself, according to the writer, is to have an affair with someone who's different from you. " Margo | 7/31/2011 " I had a difficult time starting the book and never thought I'd get past the first 100 pages. I enjoyed the storyline and could relate this book to modern times. Great piece of old literature, I can't believe I waited so long to read it. " Charlotte Coleman | 6/24/2011 " Very raunchy but a good read. Again there is a focus on money v happiness an money never seems to prevail, which can be said for life too. I am glad the characters find happiness, sexually, romantically and hopefully happy ever after.

" Sapphiresky | 6/22/2011 " Very difficult read; large words I had to look up, and the book was steamy. Not exactly my favorite book of all time, but worth the read. " Denise | 6/20/2011 " Liked it, though I expected something more... scandalous, what with all the fuss around this book. " Chris | 6/18/2011 " Except for the sex I wasn't too enthralled. Of course, I was a teenaged male. Date read is a guess. " Crystal | 6/9/2011 " Good read, but I liked Madame Bovary better. " Vicki | 6/7/2011 " I read all of Lawrence at the Community Park Swimming pool when I was 16 years old. I loved all of his books. So sensual, but I was so young I should reread. So many books and so little time. " Sarah | 6/5/2011 " It was ok, but not that racy!!! It took me a while to get to grips with it.

The 'sex' thats in it is brief and hard to find. " Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence - review | Books | The Guardian The Observer Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence - review Nicola Barr finds raw power in a book whose literary reputation was overtaken by the controversy surrounding it Share on Messenger Close It's 50 years since Penguin's publication of DH Lawrence's novel of love across the social divide became the subject of the UK's most famous obscenity trial. Penguin has every right to feel proud of what it did: its new paperbacks were bringing literature to the masses for the price of a packet of cigarettes and it boldly printed 200,000 copies of a book banned since its publication in 1928. Immediately, Whitehall waded in with a prosecution trial, the final verdict in Lawrence's favour being "the gate through which the 60s swung", as Geoffrey Robertson QC has it in his afterword to this newly released edition. Robertson goes on to reveal how hard the defence had to search to find writers to support the novel as a work of art.

Doris Lessing, Robert Graves and Iris Murdoch ("An eminently silly book by a great man") all declined, as – less surprisingly – did a baffled Enid Blyton. And reading it now? The novel has undoubted raw power. One feels the frustrations of every character – Lady Chatterley, trying to do her duty but numbed by her war-injured, impotent husband ("Dead fish of a gentleman, with his celluloid soul"), the gamekeeper Mellors with his odd, pitiful history of abuse at the hands of sexually aggressive women. And their strange – perhaps ludicrous – union, somehow made worthy of championing. In its situation and its telling, it brims with the revolutionary angst of a country in need of but still a long way from massive social transformation. "Books may have increased in price even more than cigarettes over the past 50 years but they have caused a lot less harm," concludes Robertson. Indeed, and perhaps the gloomiest part of the whole rather embarrassing, very English scenario is that the days when a work of literature could command this amount of attention were left behind as that gate swung and ushered in the 60s.

Famous cases: R v Penguin Books — Brightside Famous cases: R v Penguin Books Can you publish pornographic or offensive books if they have artistic merit? The case 'Lady Chatterley’s Lover' is a book by D.H. Lawrence, which was published by Penguin Books in 1960. The book was described as obscene, as the story contained many sex scenes as well as repeated use of what newspapers delicately termed ‘four-letter words.’ The case was a test of the new obscenity laws, which were passed in 1959. The laws stated that something could avoid being prosecuted for obscenity if the material contained some artistic merit. The arguments Accusers believed that sexual intercourse was at the ‘core and heart’ of the book, while the defendants, Penguin Books, maintained that the book was an artistic discussion of many issues, and not purely a romp. The chief prosecutor, Mervyn Griffiths-Jones, caused controversy when he told the court it was not the kind of book ‘you would like your wife or servants to read.’ The defence called witnesses, including many eminent literary critics, who stated that Lawrence was sincere in his writing, and that it was important for the jury to look deeply at the text.

However, the prosecution and indeed the judge pointed out that in this case more was required. It had to be demonstrated to the jury not just that a literature student or academic could get more than a cheap thrill out of Lawrence’s book, but that the average layman would have a similar understanding of it. The verdict The jury, having read the book, decided that Penguin Books were not guilty. Apparently the decision was greeted by cheers in the courtroom, and Penguin Books later showed their gratitude by publishing the second version of ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ with a dedication to the jury at the beginning.

Before her marriage, she is simply Constance Reid, an intellectual and social progressive, the daughter of Sir Malcolm and the sister of Hilda. When she marries Clifford Chatterley, a minor nobleman, Constance--or, as she is known throughout the novel, Connie--assumes his title, becoming Lady Chatterley. Lady Chatterley's Lover chronicles Connie's maturation as a woman and as a sensual being. She comes to despise her weak, ineffectual husband, and to love Oliver Mellors, the gamekeeper on her husband's estate. In the process of leaving her husband and conceiving a child with Mellors, Lady Chatterley moves from the heartless, bloodless world of the intelligentsia and aristocracy into a vital and profound connection rooted in sensuality and sexual fulfillment. Oliver Mellors - The lover in the novel's title.

Mellors is the gamekeeper on Clifford Chatterley's estate, Wragby. He is aloof, sarcastic, intelligent and noble. He was born near Wragby, and worked as a blacksmith until he ran off to the army to escape an unhappy marriage. In the army he rose to become a commissioned lieutenant--an unusual position for a member of the working classes--but was forced to leave the army because of a case of pneumonia, which left him in poor health. Disappointed by a string of unfulfilling love affairs, Mellors lives in quiet isolation, from which he is redeemed by his relationship with Connie: the passion unleashed by their lovemaking forges a profound bond between them. At the end of the novel, Mellors is fired from his job as gamekeeper and works as a laborer on a farm, waiting for a divorce from his old wife so he can marry Connie. Mellors is the representative in this novel of the Noble Savage: he is a man with an innate nobility but who remains impervious to the pettiness and emptiness of conventional society, with access to a primitive flame of passion and sensuality. Clifford Chatterley - Connie's husband.

Clifford Chatterley is a minor nobleman who becomes paralyzed from the waist down during World War I. As a result of his injury, Clifford is impotent. He retires to his familial estate, Wragby, where he becomes first a successful writer, and then a powerful businessman. But the gap between Connie and him grows ever wider; obsessed with financial success and fame, he is not truly interested in love, and she feels that he has become passionless and empty. He turns for solace to his nurse and companion, Mrs. Bolton, who worships him as a nobleman even as she despises him for his casual arrogance. Clifford represents everything that this novel despises about the modern English nobleman: he is a weak, vain man, but declares his right to rule the lower classes, and he soullessly pursues money and fame through industry and the meaningless manipulation of words. His impotence is symbolic of his failings as a strong, sensual man. Mrs. Bolton - Ivy Bolton is Clifford's nurse and caretaker. She is a competent, complex, still-attractive middle-aged woman.

Years before the action in this novel, her husband died in an accident in the mines owned by Clifford's family. Even as Mrs. Bolton resents Clifford as the owner of the mines--and, in a sense, the murderer of her husband--she still maintains a worshipful attitude towards him as the representative of the upper class. Her relationship with Clifford--she simultaneously adores and despises him, while he depends and looks down on her--is probably the most fascinating and complex relationship in the novel. Michaelis - A successful Irish playwright with whom Connie has an affair early in the novel. Michaelis asks Connie to marry him, but she decides not to, realizing that he is like all other intellectuals: a slave to success, a purveyor of vain ideas and empty words, passionless. Hilda Reid - Connie's older sister by two years, the daughter of Sir Malcolm. Hilda shared Connie's cultured upbringing and intellectual education. She remains unliberated by the raw sensuality that changed Connie's life. She disdains Connie's lover, Mellors, as a member of the lower classes, but in the end she helps Connie to leave Clifford. Sir Malcolm Reid - The father of Connie and Hilda.

He is an acclaimed painter, an aesthete and unabashed sensualist who despises Clifford for his weakness and impotence, and who immediately warms to Mellors. Tommy Dukes - One of Clifford's contemporaries, Tommy Dukes is a brigadier general in the British Army and a clever and progressive intellectual. Lawrence intimates, however, that Dukes is a representative of all intellectuals: all talk and no action. Dukes speaks of the importance of sensuality, but he himself is incapable of sensuality and uninterested in sex. Charles May, Hammond, Berry - Young intellectuals who visit Wragby, and who, along with Tommy Dukes and Clifford, participate in the socially progressive but ultimately meaningless discussions about love and sex. Duncan Forbes - An artist friend of Connie and Hilda. Forbes paints abstract canvases, a form of art both Mellors and D.H. Lawrence seem to despise. He once loved Connie, and Connie originally claims to be pregnant with his child. Bertha Coutts - Although Bertha never actually appears in the novel, her presence is felt. She is Mellors' wife, separated from him but not divorced.

Their marriage faltered because of their sexual incompatibility: she was too rapacious, not tender enough. She returns at the end of the novel to spread rumors about Mellors' infidelity to her, and helps get him fired from his position as gamekeeper. As the novel concludes, Mellors is in the process of divorcing her. Squire Winter - A relative of Clifford. He is a firm believer in the old privileges of the aristocracy. Daniele, Giovanni - Venetian gondoliers in the service of Hilda and Connie. Giovanni hopes that the women will pay him to sleep with them; he is disappointed. Daniele reminds Connie of Mellors: he is attractive, a "real man." Lady Chatterley’s Lover obscenity trial ends - Nov 02, 1960 - HISTORY.com Lady Chatterley’s Lover obscenity trial ends Share this: Lady Chatterley’s Lover obscenity trial ends Author Lady Chatterley’s Lover obscenity trial ends URL Publisher A+E Networks On this day in 1960, a landmark obscenity case over Lady Chatterley’s Lover, by D.H. Lawrence, ends in the acquittal of Penguin Books.

The publisher had been sued for obscenity in publishing an unexpurgated version of Lawrence’s novel, which deals with the affair between the wife of a wealthy, paralyzed landowner and his estate’s gamekeeper. The book had been published in a limited English-language edition in Florence in 1928 and Paris the following year. An expurgated version was published in England in 1932. In 1959, the full text was published in New York, then in London the following year. Lawrence was born to a poor coal-mining family in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, in 1885. His mother struggled to teach her children refinement and a love of education. She depended heavily on Lawrence for emotional support and nurturing. He won a scholarship to Nottingham High School, worked as a clerk, and attended University College in Nottingham, where he earned a teaching certificate. His first novel, The White Peacock, was published in 1911. The following year, Lawrence fell in love with Frieda Weekley, the German wife of a fellow teacher. The pair fled to Germany and wed after Frieda divorced her husband.

In 1913, Lawrence published his first major novel, Sons and Lovers, an autobiographical novel set in a coal town. The couple returned to England, and Lawrence’s next novel, The Rainbow (1915), was banned for indecency. After World War I, Lawrence traveled to Italy, Australia, and Mexico and wrote several more novels, including Women in Love (1921). He died of tuberculosis in France in 1930, at the age of 44.
