Abstract
Compassion, reverence and desire are interwoven in this revolutionary novel.
The story of the relationship between Constance Chatterley and Mellors, her crippled husband's gamekeeper, is Lawrence's most controversial novel - and perhaps his most complete and beautiful study of mutual love.
Writing to liberate the generations who, he felt, had regarded sex merely as an embarrassment or a mechanical act, he said about the book: I always labour at the same thing, to make the sex relation valid and precious, instead of shameful. And this novel is the furthest I've gone. To me is is beautiful and tender and frail as the naked self is.
