 Lady Chatterleys Lover D H Lawrence with an introduction by RIchard Hoggart (who went on to give evidence at the celebrated trial and had to defend his statements here) Compassion, reverence and desire are interwoven inthis revolutionary novel. The story of the relationship between Constance Chatterley and Mellors, her crippled husband's gamekeeper, is Lawrence's most controversial novel - and perhaps his most complete and beautiful study of mutual love. Writing to liberate the generations who, he felt, had regarded sex merely as an embarrassment or a mechanical act, he said about the book: 'I always labour at the same thing, to make the sex relation valid and precious, instead of shameful. And this novel is the furthest I've gone. To me it is beautiful and tender and frail as the naked self is'. This Penguin paperback is in good condition. 314pp. Year first published: 1928 This edition:1980? ISBN: 0140014845
