Lady Chatterley's Lover and A Propos of 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' / Edition 1

by D. H. Lawrence, Michael Squires

Overview

This edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover (and A Propos of ‘Lady Chatterley's Lover') newly establishes the text of D.H. Lawrence's most famous novel by peeling off the layers of typists' corruptions and compositors' errors that have seriously marred the novel for over sixty years. It is the first edition to restore to Lawrence's text the words he wrote, and the first to correct authoritatively the 1928 Florence edition that Lawrence personally supervised. The introduction establishes an accurate history of composition, publication and reception; the notes identify difficult allusions; and the appendix explains how Lawrence weaves real places and people into his fictional tapestry.
