Lady Chatterley's Lover

This novel brought Lawrence his greatest success and his bitterest disappointment. Once it was considered nearly an example of “obscene pornography,” and later it was recognized as a classic of English-language prose. The story of Lady Chatterley torn between her Platonic attachment to her crippled husband and a very earthly, sensual passion for a handsome gamekeeper has long ceased to seem either scandalous or sensational. Again and again it fascinates the reader with the depth of its understanding of human psychology—especially the psychology of love.
