Product Description HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVER was banned on its publication in 1928, creating a storm of controversy. Lawrence tells the story of Constance Chatterley’s marriage to Sir Clifford, an aristocratic and an intellectual who is paralyzed from the waist down after the First World War. Desperate for an heir and embarrassed by his inability to satisfy his wife, Clifford suggests that she have an affair. Constance, troubled by her husband’s words, finds herself involved in a passionate relationship with their gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. Lawrence’s vitriolic denunciations of industrialism and class division come together in his vivid depiction of the profound emotional and physical connection between a couple otherwise divided by station and society. From the Back Cover ‘A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it.’At the age of twenty-three, Lady Constance Chatterley is lonely, bored, and much to her dismay, an unhappy wife. After fighting in the First World War, her husband Clifford has returned to Wragby Hall with life-changing injuries, and the cracks in their marriage have begun to show. But when Constance strikes up an unlikely acquaintance with the estate’s gamekeeper Mellors, she finds he can ignite passion and excitement in her life, and her once dull existence is irrevocably changed. Explosive upon publication in 1928, Lady Chatterley’s Lover caused uproar amongst readers and critics with the original manuscript banned in Britain for obscenity until 1960. Since then, D.H. Lawrence’s most controversial novel has been celebrated for its unflinching depiction of sexual politics. About the Author David Herbert (D. H.) Lawrence was a prolific English novelist, essayist, poet, playwright, literary critic and painter. His most notable works include Lady Chatterley’s Lover, The Rainbow, Sons and Lovers and Women in Love.

Women in Love begins one blossoming spring day in England and ends with a terrible catastrophe in the snow of the Alps. Ursula and Gudrun are very different sisters who become entangled with two friends, Rupert and Gerald, who live in their hometown. The bonds between the couples quickly become intense and passionate, but whether this passion is creative or destructive is unclear. In this astonishing novel, widely considered to be D.H.
