About Lady Chatterley's Lover Large Print Edition
Lady Chatterley's Lover was a ground breaking novel. It remains one of the most famous books ever written. The book is so popular that even my computer spell checker recognizes the name. Although no doubt it contains great literature, but most of its fame arises from the numerous obscenity trials that took place in various countries of the world. In many countries, the book was declared obscene and banned. However, nowadays nobody would call it obscene. Still, there are counties in the world where it remains illegal, many because the court decisions banning it have not been over turned or may have been forgotten. The story line to Lady Chatterley's Lover is that Lady Chatterley loves her husband and she loves him. Her husband is Lord Chatterley. Being a Lord, he has a small but regular income without working. Their parents are all dead. He goes off to fight in World War I. He is nearly killed but survives. However, his war injuries leave him paralyzed from the waist down. Thus, he is not capable of having an erection or of engaging in sexual intercourse. His wife is reduced to pushing him around in a wheel-chair. Eventually, Lord Chatterley fails to realize that his wife continues to push him around not because she wants to but because she has too. As the wife of a Lord of England, she has social obligations that she cannot abandon. But she needs more than just a purely mental or emotional love. She needs sex. Their estate employs a game keeper, Oliver Mellors. The class difference between the couple highlights a major motif of the novel which is the unfair dominance of intellectuals over the working class. The novel is about Constance's realization that she cannot live with the mind alone; she must also be alive physically. This realization stems from a heightened sexual experience Constance has only felt with Mellors, suggesting that love can only happen with the element of the body, not the mind. Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned for obscenity the United States in 1929. The ban was overturned in court in 1959. It was then published by Grove Press with the complete opinion by United States Court of Appeals which first established the standard of "redeeming social or literary value" as a defense against obscenity charges.
