D. H. Lawrence: Lady Chatterley's Trial (Pocket Penguins 70's), Wellington in Wellington, Wellington for sale

Every book tells a story . . . And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. In 1960, thirty years after D. H. Lawrence's death, Penguin moved to publish his most provocative novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, for the first time. What followed was the most significant literary obscenity trial of the century, as Penguin called upon a string of expert witnesses to defend the book's literary merit, in a case that reflected the changing face of contemporary society and marked a turning-point in Britain's censorship laws. 64 pages
