THE AUTHORIZED UNEXPURGATED EDITION-Lady Chatterleys Lover is one of the most beautiful and most notorious love stories in modern fiction.The Signet Classics edition is D. H. Lawrences masterpiece just as he wrote it. It is the complete unexpurgated text of the original Orioli edition first published in Italy in 1928, the last approved by Lawrence himself.The summation of D. H. Lawrences artistic achievement, this controversial novel about an upper-class woman stifled by a loveless marriage who begins a passionate affair with her husbands gamekeeper sharply illustrates Lawrences 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.This Signet Classics edition is the only complete unexpurgated version of Lady Chatterleys Lover authorized by the estate of Frieda Lawrence for U.S. publication. No other edition is entitled to make this claim.-Laurence Pollinger, Literary Executor to the Estate of Mrs. Frieda Lawrence
