paperback. Condition: Good. Vintage Penguin First Edition. #S192. The Trial of Lady Chatterley, edited by C.H. Rolph, is a documentary-style account of the 1960 Old Bailey obscenity trial over D.H. Lawrenceâs *Lady Chatterleyâs Lover*, presented through transcripts, commentary and contextual material. Rolph assembles the prosecution and defence arguments, witness statements from academics, clergy and literary figures, and the judgeâs summing-up, allowing the reader to follow the case as it unfolded and to see how questions of morality, literary merit and social change collided in the courtroom. The volume also situates the trial within the broader cultural moment, showing how the verdict helped redefine attitudes toward censorship and modern literature, and in its Penguin edition it offers a clear, engaging record of one of the twentieth centuryâs most influential legal battles over a book.…

8vo, 2 pp, 33 lines. Good, on lightly aged and creased paper. An interesting letter, written by a former policeman to a former probation officer, on the subject of the latter's book 'Come to Prison: A Tour through British Prisons today' (Longmans, 1957), about which the former has written a negative review. Begins by praising Stokes' 'really generous letter, written at what cost in self-control I can only dimly imagine'. When Hewitt 'read the published review', he thought 'that it was still on the whole unfair'. 'I hate reviewing really, and am a bad reviewer. Objectivity eludes me, and I pontificate, as if I were the only man in the world with the knowledge of the subject.' He claims what he 'really thought' was that 'the name of Sewell Stokes commands respect'. He remembers 'how very impressed G. W.

Concludes 'I'm afraid your very readable book will be a success, despite the price!'.…
