Lady Chatterley's Lover
Banned gamekeeper romance
Lady Chatterley's Lover is a 1928 novel by D.H.
Lawrence, notorious for its explicit depictions of sex and its use of words like *fuck* and *cunt*.
Banned for decades in Britain and the United States, the book became a landmark of obscenity law when Penguin Books won the right to publish it in 1960.
The title sometimes appears as shorthand for censorship battles or literary scandal.
