LADY CHATTERLEY’S LOVERINTRODUCED BY BLAKE MORRISONClifford Chatterley returns from the First World War as an invalid. Constance nurses him and tries to be the dutiful wife. However, childless and listless she feels oppressed by their marriage and their isolated life. Partly encouraged by Clifford to seek a lover, she embarks on a passionate affair with the gamekeeper, Mellors. Through their liaison Lawrence explores the complications of sex, love and class. Written in 1928 and subsequently banned, Lady Chatterley’s Lover is one of the most subversive novels in English literature.MOLL FLANDERSThese are the fortunes and misfortunes of Moll Flanders: born in Newgate Prison, twelve years a prostitute, five times a wife (once to her own brother), twelve years a thief and eight years a transported felon in Her Majesty’s colony of Virginia. Daniel Defoe’s rollicking tale presents life in the prisons, alleyways and underworlds of eighteenth-century London, and gives us Moll – scandalous, unscrupulous and utterly irresistible.
