Roberts A48 (Although the limitation statement states that 600 copies were printed, "the first printing consisted of 700 copies according to the publishers.") and A48b. These introductions were Lawrence's response to the controversy of Lady Chatterley's Lover and the rampant piracy of the novel. In the spring of 1928, Lawrence had commissioned the Tipografia Guintina, in Florence, to print Lady Chatterley's Lover after it was rejected by numerous English publishers. He planned to sell one thousand signed and numbered copies for £2 each, with friends acting as agents. By the end of the year, nearly all copies were sold, despite (or perhaps because of) the novel being banned from the United States and about to be suppressed in London. In these introductions, Lawrence took a two-pronged approach to the defense of Lady Chatterley's Lover. He began by explaining his decision to bring out an authorized popular edition, in response to the piracies. Then he broached the topic of sex , arguing in favor of treating sex respectfully but explicitly in literature. N. B.

LAWRENCE, David Herbert (1885-1930) Lettre autographe signée « DH Lawrence » à George Conway Hôtel Beau Rivage, Bandol, 29 décembre 1928, 2 p. in-8°, en anglais Enveloppe autographe timbrée et oblitérée Quelques infimes décharges d'encre, toute petite tache sans atteinte au texte, ancienne trace de trombone Rare lettre de l'écrivain au sujet de son scandaleux roman L'Amant de Lady Chatterley « Dear Conway, I am most distressed to learn that your copies of Lady Chatterley's Lover have not turned up. They were sent by registered book post long ago and surely the Mexican govt. would not confiscate them, as the U.S.A. customs do! I will ask Orioli to send you the registration counterfoil, to see if you can trace them. If not you must have others, if any remain. Orioli has very few, I know they may be all ordered. But one at least I'll rescue for you. But we must find out what became of the others. The book is selling at $50. in USA- and anything over £5. here in Europe so you see it is quite a loss. Your Christmas card came this morning too and how pretty it is! and I had a little book from you which I thought was charming. We have given up the Villa Mirenda, and are at a bit of loose end, wondering where to go and where to live next. I think in about a fortnight we shall go to Spain, and try that. But we might go to New Mexico for the summer, so if ever you are passing, make sure first if we are there and do stop and see us if we are. I was ill last year but I am much better now and getting to be myself again. Some people were much scandalized by Lady C. but many took it in the right spirit, and remain staunch to me. I do hope you'll get your copies, and will read it and not be shocked Mrs Conway too. We have lived too long to be shocked by words any more. How are you both? I think of you often, and quake sometimes for you, seeing the Mexican news. But you'll go on forever, I feel, running those trams and deciphering Spanish MS. Very many greetings from us both D.H. Lawrence » Quand D.H. Lawrence et sa femme Frieda arrivent à Bandol le 17 novembre 1928, L'amant de Lady Chatterley est sorti des presses de Florence depuis moins d'un an. Écrit en 1927 dans la même ville, à la villa Mirenda, le roman est interdit de vente au Royaume-Uni au motif de "publication obscène" : Les scènes érotiques explicites, le vocabulaire considéré comme grossier et la différence de classe sociale entre les amants (un ouvrier et une aristocrate) sont autant de raisons pour les censeurs de le faire interdire de publication. L'édition est de fait vendue sous le manteau. Le succès est immense. Le 18 janvier 1929, Lawrence apprend par son agent Laurence Pollinger que 18 exemplaires de Lady Chatterly's Lover ont été saisis au Royaume-Uni. L'interdiction affecte douloureusement le romancier. Atteint d'une tuberculose pulmonaire, il s'éteint un an plus tard, le 2 mars 1930. Ce n'est qu'en 1960, 30 ans après sa mort, que l'ouvrage est autorisé de publication au Royaume-Uni. George Robert Graham Conway et son épouse, Anne Elizabeth, font partie des amis anglais de l'écrivain. Ils le rencontrent au Nouveau-Mexique en 1925. Conway, ingénieur spécialisé dans l'industrie du transport ferroviaire, fut l'un des plus grands collectionneurs de son temps de documents sur la colonisation espagnole en Amérique.

Florence: Privately Printed by the Tipografia Giuntina, 1928. 4to 2 p.l., 365, [1] pp., [1] leaf (blank). FIRST EDITION. ONE OF 1,000 COPIES, SIGNED BY LAWRENCE. Original publisher's mulberry-colored paper boards, edges untrimmed, note chips to spine, else quite lovely. Roberts A-42a. This is simply a good tpo very gppd copy of one of the major works of British literature in the 20th century. Although poetical in the general treatment of its subject, this book is a landmark in the history of the English novel in that it depicts for the first time in a studied and unabashedly direct way the concrete sexual experience, accompanied by the uninhibited language of real life. The book was first published in Italy because of obstacles erected by the censor in Britain, where it did not circulate in unexpurgated form until 1960.

First edition, copy #416 of 1,000 numbered copies signed by D. H. Lawrence, privately printed and available by subscription only. [iv], 365 pp. Bound in publisher's purplish brown paper-covered boards with front board stamped with black phoenix design, paper title label to spine. Near Fine, a little professional repair to spine with joints discreetly reinforced, few small stains to boards, faint production crease to prelims. An attractive copy. Housed in a custom morocco-backed slipcase. A groundbreaking and controversial novel for its time, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned in both England and America, and not published in the latter until 1959.

First edition, limited issue, number 302 of 1000 copies, signed by the author; large 8vo (23 x 17 cm); one or two minor marginal spots, else unmarked internally; publisher's mulberry coloured boards, Lawrence's phoenix device to upper board in black, white paper title label to spine printed in black, untrimmed, slight chipping to corners and foot of spine, spine ends slightly bumped, minor split to lower front joint but sound; preserved in brown cloth chemise within brown morocco gilt slip-case. This novel shines as an example of Lawrence's finite skill in conveying the nature of relationships and his use of characters to communicate his personal philosophy. His depiction of love-making (seen as shocking at the time) and the intimacy and sense of touch derives from his wish to restore an emphasis on the body and balance it with what he perceived to be Western civilisation's over-emphasis on the mind. Lawrence's writing and opinions earned him many enemies, censorship and misrepresentation of his creativity, which was his reflection on the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation, while also exploring issues such as emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct.
