Lady Chatterley's Lover

This novel brought Lawrence his greatest success and his most bitter disappointment. At one time, it was considered almost a prime example of vile pornography, but later it was recognized as a classic of English-language prose. The story of Lady Chatterley, torn between a platonic attachment to her crippled husband and a completely earthly, sensual passion for a handsome gamekeeper, no longer seems scandalous or sensational. It continues to amaze the reader with its depth of understanding of human psychology, especially the psychology of love.
