DH Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover is a memorable and confounding book, and well worth reading again. I was inspired to do so by a new scholarly and entertaining work.... clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/…

Few songs have enjoyed a longer afterlife than ‘Try a Little Tenderness’. But did D.H. Lawrence’s controversial novel, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, inspire the song’s most memorable lines? @guywjc investigates...
