| Description: | Select Guide Rating D. H. Lawrence’s classic novel about a passionate love affair. <p>Connie’s unhappy marriage to Clifford Chatterley is one scarred by mutual frustration and alienation. Crippled from wartime action, Clifford is confined to a wheelchair, while Connie’s solitary, sterile existence is contained within the narrow parameters of the Chatterley ancestral home, Wragby. She seizes her chance at happiness and freedom when she embarks on a passionate affair with the estate’s gamekeeper, Mellors, discovering a world of sexual opportunity and pleasure she’d thought lost to her. <br><br> The explosive passion of Connie and Mellors’ relationship – and the searing candour with which it is described – marked a watershed in twentieth-century fiction, garnering <i>Lady Chatterley’s Lover</i> a wide and enduring readership and lasting notoriety. <br><br> The text is taken from the privately published <i>Author’s Unabridged Popular Edition</i> of 1930, the last to be supervised in D. H. Lawrence’s lifetime. It also includes his witty essay<i>, My Skirmish with Jolly Roger</i>, describing the pirating of this infamous novel.<br><br> This Macmillan Collector’s Library edition of <i>Lady Chatterley’s Lover </i>features an afterword by editor and publisher, Anna South.<br><br>Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.</p> |
