October 2006--Lady Chatterley's Lover


by D.H. Lawrence

The scandal that has followed Lady Chatterley’s Lover over the years is as much for its depiction of a sexual relationship between an aristocratic married woman and her lower-class gamekeeper as for its supposed obscenity. Connie Chatterley is a restless young woman whose husband has been rendered impotent by paralysis. She falls into an unlikely affair that leads to a genuine passion as well as a personal awakening. Not merely a love story, this novel explores the conflicts of the cerebral with the physical, shame with desire, and industrialization with nature.
