Description

"D. H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover was published in 1928.It was privately printed in Florence in 1928 and did not appear in the United Kingdom until 1960 (except in an underground version published by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929). Lawrence considered renaming the book Tenderness at one stage, and he made substantial changes to the original draught to make it more reader-friendly. It was released in three different formats.The book's release sparked outrage because of its graphic sex scenes, which included previously forbidden four-letter words, and possibly because the lovers were a working-class man and an aristocratic woman.Lawrence is said to have based the story on incidents in his own miserable domestic life, and he drew inspiration for the book's settings from Ilkeston, Derbyshire, where he lived for a time. According to some commentators, the story was inspired by Lady Ottoline Morrell's affair with "Tiger," a young stonemason who came to carve plinths for her garden statues."
