1960 was a big year for literature when the book ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ was published by Penguin books and whipped up a legal storm.
‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’ is a novel by D. H. Lawrence that was written in 1928 and printed at that time privately in Florence. The publication of the book caused a scandal due to its explicit sex scenes, including the use of previously banned four letter words. When it was published in Britain in 1960, the trial of the publishers, Penguin Books, under the Obscene Publications Act of 1959 was a major public event and a test of the new obscenity law.
