Not from a library. No remainder mark. xxiv + 360 pages. Lady Chatterly's Lover became notorious for its story of the physical and emotional relationship between a working class man and an upper class woman, its explicit descriptions of sex, and its use of then-unprintable words. In 1959, Grove Press published an unexpurgated version of the book. The U.S. Post Office confiscated copies sent through the mail. Grove Press sued the Postmaster of New York City and won, and won again on federal appeal. This edition contains: the full and unexpurgated text of the third manuscript version, first published privately by Giusepp Orioli, in Florence in 1928; Archibald MacLeish's 1959 letter on the plan to publish the book; Mark Schorer's comprehensive and informative introduction; and extracts from the historic United States District Court decision that removed the Post Office ban on the book and established the standard of "redeeming social or literary value" as a defense against obscenity charges.
