Perhaps the most famous of Lawrence's novels, the 1928 Lady Chatterley's
Lover is no longer distinguished for the once-shockingly explicit treatment
of its subject matter--the adulterous affair between a sexually unfulfilled
upper-class married woman and the game keeper who works for the estate owned
by her wheelchaired husband. Now that we're used to reading about sex, and
seeing it in the movies, it's apparent that the novel is memorable for better
reasons: namely, that Lawrence was a masterful and lyrical writer, whose story
takes us bodily into the world of its characters.
