David Herbert Richards "D. H." Lawrence, who lived from 1885 – 1930, was an English novelist, poet, and painter. Some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct. Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work. "Lady Chatterley's Lover" concerns a young married woman, the former Constance Reid (Lady Chatterley), whose upper-class husband, Sir Clifford Chatterley, described as a handsome, well-built man, has been paralyzed from the waist down due to a Great War injury. In addition to Clifford's physical limitations, his emotional neglect of Constance forces distance between the couple. Her sexual frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors, the novel's title character. 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. Love and personal relationships are the threads that bind this novel together. Lawrence explores a wide range of different types of relationships. The reader sees the brutal, bullying relationship between Mellors and his wife Bertha, who punishes him by preventing his pleasure. There is Tommy Dukes, who has no relationship because he cannot find a woman whom he respects intellectually and, at the same time, finds desirable. There is also the perverse, maternal relationship that ultimately develops between Clifford and Mrs. Bolton, his caring nurse, after Connie has left. "Lady Chatterley" was one of the most frequently banned books of the first half of the 20th century. 281 pages. I offer Combined shipping.Easton Press leather edition of D.H.

The novel is the story of GERTRUDE MOREL, based on Lawrence's own mother, Lydia. Paul Morel's parents in "Sons and Lovers" mirror Lawrence's own. Lawrence wrote: "The pity was, she was too much his opposite. She could not be content with the little he might be; she would have him the much that he ought to be. So in seeking to make him nobler she destroyed him." PAUL MOREL cannot establish a sexual relationships with JESSIE CHAMBERS or other women because he is emotionally attached to his mother. Like Paul Morel, Lawrence was greatly influenced by women. While his mother encouraged him in painting, his friend JESSIE CHAMBERS, the prototype for MIRIAM, encouraged him to write. In 1913, the LONDON SATURDAY REVIEW remarked: "We know no active English novelist---today---who has Mr. Lawrence's power to put in words the rise and fall of passion". . .and the NEW YORK TIMES agreed, calling the work "one of rare excellence." Sigmund Freud and others had a "field day" with all of the sexual analogies. 395 pages. I offer Combined shipping. Easton Press leather edition of D.H.
