Lady Chatterley's Lover
D.H. Lawrence
Constance Chatterley, married to a paralyzed aristocrat, begins an affair with the gamekeeper Oliver Mellors. Lawrence's frank depiction of sexual desire across class lines and his use of four-letter words led to the novel being banned in Britain and the United States for decades; a landmark 1960 obscenity trial in the UK finally resulted in publication.
