Lawrence's controversial descriptions of sexual union and use of four-letter words caused this story of the gamekeeper, the lady of the manor and the crippled husband to be banned in England until Penguin produced a complete text in 1960. They were prosecuted under the Obscene Publications Act 1959 but were acquitted after a celebrated trial, a victory which had a profound effect on publishing thereafter. (Kirkus UK)
