Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H.Lawrence Including:

My Skirmish with Jolly Roger

The Author's Unabridged Edition

Privately Printed in 1930

Lawrence's frank portrayal of an extramarital affair and the explicit sexual explorations of its central characters caused this controversial book, now considered a masterpiece, to be banned as pornography until 1960.
The story concerns a young married woman, the former Constance Reid (Lady Chatterley), whose upper-class Baronet husband, Sir Clifford Chatterley, is described as a handsome, well-built man paralyzed from the waist down because of a Great War injury. In addition to Clifford's physical limitations, his emotional neglect of Constance forces distance between the couple. Her emotional frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. The class difference between the couple highlights a central motif of the novel: the unfair dominance of intellectuals over the working class. The story is about Constance's realization that she cannot live with the mind alone but must also be alive physically. That realization stems from a heightened sexual experience that Constance has felt only with Mellors, suggesting that love can happen with only the element of the body, not just the mind.
