Lady
Chatterley’s Lover - DH Lawrence (1928)
Lawrence’s
final hymn to sex as a holy, devotional rite. Brave, sometimes a bit silly now,
but an important step in the loosening of corsets, both metaphorical and real. Beside
the point, perhaps, but there is a lot of early conservationist writing. Banned
widely for its sexual explicitness, with major trials in the sixties. Suddenly
the prosecutors looked old, upper class and silly and the trials collapsed.
