Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence (Book Analysis): Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

By Bright Summaries

Unlock the more straightforward side of Lady Chatterley’s Lover with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence. As its name suggests, the novel follows the extramarital affair between Lady Constance Chatterley and her husband’s gamekeepers Oliver Mellors. Constance is frustrated by her unsatisfying life with her partially paralysed husband Clifford and gradually grows closer to the seemingly uncouth but ultimately kind and tender Mellors, in spite of the gulf in social class that separates them. The novel’s explicit sexual content and language meant that it was heavily censored when it was first published, and the later release of an unexpurgated edition resulted in an obscenity trial in Britain in 1960. It is arguably D. H. Lawrence’s best-known novel; his other works include Sons and Lovers and The Rainbow, both of which are regularly ranked among the greatest novels of the 20th century.
