THE AUTHORIZED UNEXPURGATED EDITIONΓÇöLady ChatterleyΓÇÖs Lover is one of the most beautiful and most notorious love stories in modern fiction. The summation of D. H. LawrenceΓÇÖs artistic achievement,this controversial novel about an upper class woman stifled by her loveless marriage who beings a passionate affair with her husband’s gamekeeper sharply illustrates Lawrence’s belief that materialism robbed life of its vitality and purpose…that tenderness and passion were the only weapons that could save man from self-destruction. The Signet Classics edition of Lady ChatterleyΓÇÖs Lover is D. H. LawrenceΓÇÖs masterpiece just as he wrote it. It is the complete unexpurgated text of the original Orioli edition first published in Italy in 1928the last approved by Lawrence himself. ΓÇ£This Signet Classics edition is the only complete unexpurgated version of Lady ChatterleyΓÇÖs Lover authorized by the estate of Frieda Lawrence for U.S. publication. No other edition is entitled to make this claim.ΓÇ¥ΓÇöLaurence PollingerLiterary Executor to the Estate of Mrs. Frieda Lawrence
