Introduction by: Susan Ostrov Weisser
The last, and most famous, of D. H. Lawrenceβs novels, Lady Chatterleyβs Lover was published in 1928 and banned in England and the United States as pornographic.

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.

Perhaps even more relevant today than when it first appeared, Lady Chatterleyβs Lover is a triumph of passion and an erotic celebration of life.
