Inspired by the long-standing affair between Frieda, Lawrence''s
German wife, and an Italian peasant who eventually became her third
husband, Lady Chatterley''s Lover is the story of Constance
Chatterley, who, while trapped in an unhappy marriage to an
aristocratic mine owner whose war wounds have left him paralyzed
and impotent, has an affair with Mellors, the gamekeeper. Frank
Kermode calls the book Lawrence''s "great achievement" and Anais Nin
describes it as "artistically . . . his best novel." This Modern
Library Paperback Classics edition includes the transcript of the
judge''s decision in the famous 1959 obscenity trial that allowed
the novel to be published in the United States.
關於作者：
DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE was born September 11, 1885 in Eastwood,
Nottinghamshire. His father was a miner and his mother was a
schoolteacher. In 1906 he took up a scholarship at Nottingham
University to study to be a teacher.
His first novel, The White Peacock, was
published in 1911. Lawrence gave up teaching in 1911 due to
illness. In 1912 he met and fell in love with a married woman,
Frieda Weekley, and they eloped to Germany together. They were
married in 1914 and spent the rest of their lives together
travelling around the world. In 1915 Lawrence published The Rainbow
which was banned in Great Britain for obscenity. Women in Love
continues the story of the Brangwen family begun in The Rainbow and
was finished by Lawrence in 1916 but not published until 1920.
Another of Lawrence''s most famous works, Lady Chatterley''s Lover,
was privately printed in Florence in 1928 but was not published in
Britain until
1960, when it was the subject of an
unsuccessful court case brought against it for obscenity. As well
as novels, Lawrence also wrote in a variety of other genres and his
poetry, criticism and travel books remain highly regarded. He was
also a keen painter. D.H. Lawrence died in France on March 2,
1930.
