Lady Chatterly's Lover...

james_delve [Edit] [Delete] 27 replies 19:52, 24 May '06

Would anyone who has read this book give me some kind of outline as to what happens. I'm meant to read it for my essay, but I don't have time.

Thanks.

:)

  • I haven't read it

    But my friend did a presentation on 'Birdsong' today without reading it. Her mum told her what it was about. She got a 'b', surprisingly and said the word 'erm' a total of 44 times.

  • OK

    If no one has read it, does anyone know why it was censored in America?

      • It was censored because it's about sex?

        Gah, thats pathetic. WHy didn't they just put big stickers on the front?

        I'll read it one day...

          • it's not just the sex

            it's dirty sex i think. and it crosses a class boundary. which is probably why people were outraged, and then pointed to the sex as an excuse.

            Maybe. This is conjecture, i've never read it.

              • ^ i was going to write this

                but decided not to. and my housemate distracted me.

                • it's normal sex

                  but with swear words, used very romantically, which was kind of lawrence's point as far as I know. the class thing wasn't brought up as a primary issue, but was clearly a major thing to some of the censors. also the adultery is a bad thing, and the husband gets sympathy votes cos he is disabled (and therefore can't shag).

                  you should be able to get a potted summary of this sort of thing from spark notes or just by googling... presumably you're asking partly from a wish to be entertained :-P

              • was it only America?

                I thought it got censored here too, perhaps my dad lied to me when he told me about it.

                • it got censored here too

                  i saw a dramatisation about it. it was kind of quite good as well. bbc4 perhaps?

              • I've only ever read...

                about half of it I'm afraid. If you Google it you should pull up quite a lot of information!

              • I remember watching the

                TV series as an impressionable teen. The woman (Joely Richardson? PHWOOOAARRR) got naked. It was one of the first times I'd seen BARE LADY BITS.

                Great days.
