Lawrence, (11 septembre 1885 à Eastwood au Royaume-Uni - 2 mars 1930 à Vence en France) est un écrivain britannique. Auteur de nouvelles, romans, poèmes, pièces de théâtre, essais, livres de voyage, traductions et lettres, il est célèbre pour son sulfureux roman L’Amant de lady Chatterley.

Copy No. 241 of D. H. Lawrence's separately published introduction to the Paris popular edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover, together with the first trade edition of the expanded introduction, published the following year under the title A Propos of Lady Chatterley's Lover. Jolly Roger: Slim Demy 8vo (218 x 147mm): [12]pp, with scarce erratum slip laid in. Publisher's speckled beige paper-covered boards, matching beige paper title label printed in black to upper cover, patterned end papers printed in rose and black.

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.

IMMACULATE NEW copy of this supreme collectable in the Penguin Classic Anniversary Editions. This remarkable and very beautiful edition has become the most sought after edition in the series by far. Sir Paul Smith designed the book, and chose to cover the board binding in delicate embroidered silk, which features the flowers Lawrence mentions in the book. The silk has been used for every aspect of this gorgeous book; even the Penguin logo is embroidered in silk. This particular copy has a unique signed pictorial card from the great designer himself, which is loose laid on the title page. This really is a breathtaking production in every way, from its large format pages to its silk covering over the top of the binding boards, all the way to the heavy lucite case that was especially designed for the book, and which has a subtle explanatory text silk screened on to it, and which I found too difficult to photograph. For once, the hype is well worth the result. Truly, this is a classic. 0.0 0.0 0.0

"Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D. H. Lawrence. Signed by the author on a limitation page from a Signed Limited Edition and affixed professionally by a bookbinder. This edition is likely pirated, printed shortly after the first edition and is nearly identical in format to the true first. Without the copyright notice of Tipografia Giuntina at the bottom of the copyright page and "Privately Printed, Florence, 1928" on the title page. From Wikipedia: "The first edition was printed privately in Florence, Italy, with assistance from Pino Orioli; an unexpurgated edition could not be published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960. (A private edition was issued by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929.) The book soon 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." Measuring 9 ¼ inches tall, the book has been rebound in beautiful deckled paper and ¾ red leather with raised bands, gilt rules, gilt fleur de lis, gilt title/author lettering on spine and deckled pastedowns and end papers. Structurally and appearance wise, it is in very good condition. With black and red text to title page, interior contents are in very good + condition, all pages present, all bright with no errant marks or names. Top corners of most pages show light creasing. Page ends show some age soiling largely to top and rough cut fore edges. Top page ends also show a short thin streak of soiling and a couple of extremely faded very small damp stains near crown.

Octavo, original publisher's mulberry paper-covered boards with white paper spine label, central Phoenix motif to the front panel. One of one thousand copies signed by D.H. Lawrence on the limitation page. In very good condition, bookplate to the front pastedown. Available by subscription only in this private Florence printing and banned in England and America for obscenity, Lady Chatterley's Lover was Lawrence's most ambitious attempt to present his vision of the enigma and complexity of sex. The story of the physical and emotional relationship between a working class man and an upper class woman, its explicit descriptions of sex soon led to routine confiscation and destruction of any copies police and customs officials could find in both England and the United States. An unexpurgated edition was not published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960, when it was the subject of a watershed obscenity trial against the publisher Penguin Books. Penguin won the case under the Obscene Publications Act 1959, and quickly sold 3 million copies. The book was also banned for obscenity in the United States, Canada, Australia, India, and Japan and was not available in the United States until Grove Press brought the matter to court in 1959, over 30 years after the publication of the first edition (Roberts, 42a).

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 jointe Quelques infimes décharges d encre, toute petite tache sans atteinte au texte, ancienne trace de trombone Remarquable lettre de DH Lawrence au sujet de son livre scandaleux L Amant de Lady Chatterley. Le romancier s inquiète que son correspondant n ait pas encore reçu ses exemplaires et finit sa missive par une brève analyse de la réception critique de son uvre. [Traduction de l anglais] « Cher Conway, je suis affligé d apprendre que vos exemplaires de l Amant de Lady Chatterley ne vous soient pas parvenus. Ils ont été envoyés par courrier recommandé il y a longtemps et le gouvernement mexicain ne les confisquerait sûrement pas, comme le font les douanes américaines ! Je vais demander à Orioli de vous envoyer le bordereau d enregistrement, pour voir si vous pouvez les retracer. Si ce n est pas le cas, vous devez en avoir d autres, s il en reste. Orioli en a très peu me semble-t-il ils peuvent tous être commandés. Mais un au moins je vous en garderai un. Il faut savoir ce que les autres sont devenus. Le livre se vend à $ 50 aux États-Unis et £ 5. ici en Europe vous voyez donc que c est une perte. Votre carte de Noël m est parvenue ce matin aussi et comme elle est jolie ! J ai aussi un petit livre de vous que j ai trouvé charmant. Nous avons abandonné la Villa Mirenda, et sommes un peu désemparés, on se demande où aller et où vivre ensuite. Je pense que dans une quinzaine de jours, nous irons en Espagne et nous essaierons cela. Mais nous pourrions aller au Nouveau-Mexique pour l été, donc si jamais vous y allez, assurez-vous d abord de savoir si nous y sommes. J étais malade l année dernière, mais je vais beaucoup mieux maintenant et je redeviens moi-même. Certaines personnes ont été très scandalisées par Lady C., mais beaucoup l ont pris dans le bon esprit et me restent fidèles. J espère vraiment que vous obtiendrez vos exemplaires, que vous les lirez et que vous ne serez pas choqué Mme Conway également. Nous avons vécu trop longtemps pour être choqués par les mots. Comment allez-vous tous les deux ? Je pense souvent à vous, et je tremble parfois pour vous, en voyant les nouvelles mexicaines. Mais vous continuerez pour toujours, je pense, à faire fonctionner ces tramways et à déchiffrer les messages en espagnol. Très nombreuses salutations de notre part à tous les deux. D.H. Lawrence » - Roman scandaleux à plus d un égard, L Amant de Lady Chatterley est publié à Florence en 1928. Ce n est qu en 1960, longtemps après la mort de l auteur (1930), que l ouvrage sort au Royaume-Uni. La publication du livre provoque un scandale en raison des scènes explicites de rapports sexuels, de son vocabulaire considéré comme grossier et du fait que les amants dont il est question soient un homme de la classe ouvrière et une aristocrate. George Robert Graham Conway et sa femme, Anne Elizabeth, font partie des amis anglais de D.H. Lawrence, qu ils rencontrent au Nouveau-Mexique en 1925. Conway est ingénieur spécialisé dans l industrie du transport ferroviaire et grand collectionneur de documents coloniaux espagnols. The Letters of D.H. Lawrence, Keith Sagar & James T. Boulton, vol.
