Lady Chatterley’s Lover (Collins Classics) Paperback

Lawrence's novel of Constance Chatterley, her injured husband and the gamekeeper Mellors argues its case about class and physical life in plain, unhurried prose. The Collins Classics paperback runs 416 pages and presents the full text. Beyond the story itself, the book carries a publication history that made it a fixture in arguments about censorship, since the unexpurgated edition had to survive a courtroom before it could reach general readers. Reading it now, what stands out is less the scandal than Lawrence's attention to the English Midlands landscape and to the barriers of speech and rank that keep his characters apart. Practical details: • Collins Classics paperback edition, 416 pages • Full text of Lawrence's final completed novel • Set against the coal country of the English Midlands • A frequent reference point in censorship and literary history study Aimed at readers of modern English fiction and students of twentieth century literature, published by William Collins and available at Boipoka.
