Lady Chatterley's Lover

This novel brought Lawrence the greatest success and the most bitter disappointment. Once considered hardly anything more than a model of vile pornography, it was later recognized as a classic of English-language prose. The story of Lady Chatterley, torn between her platonic attachment to her disabled husband and a very earthly, sensual passion for a handsome gamekeeper, no longer seems scandalous or sensational. It continually delights the reader with its depth of understanding of human psychology, especially the psychology of love.
