| book description |

A vibrant account of the remarkable novel Lady Chatterleyâ€™s Lover, tracing its life over the last century D. H. Lawrenceâ€™s Lady Chatterleyâ€™s Lover is one of the best-known and most resonant works of the twentieth century. Originally considered obscene and unpublishable in numerous countries, its scandalous story of class divide and the English countryside is infamous. But, since the 1920s, we have repeatedly re-created Lady Chatterley, from film and TV to music and tourism. Guy Cuthbertson tells the colourful story of the novelâ€™s journey through the last hundred years. He examines how the book has been read, adapted, and reimagined across the globe, from the United States to Japan, and explores the 1960 â€œChatterley trialâ€â€”a key moment in the struggle for freedom of expression. It might have been burnt and derided, laughed at and defaced, but Lawrenceâ€™s novel has crept into all walks of life. Whether the book, or its influence, be good or bad, we live in a world that Lady Chatterleyâ€™s Lover helped to create.
