Before Bridgerton, there was Lady Chatterley’s Lover the last novel by D.H. Lawrence privately published in 1928. There was a time when smut was highly unacceptable. So, this novel became notorious for its story of the physical relationship between a working-class man and an upper-class woman. However, it’s explicit descriptions of sex, as well as the then unprintable four-letter words. In 1960, Penguin Books won its obscenity trial and sold three million copies!
And now, the highly controversial novel has become a Netflix film for all to see.
