The Rhetoric of the Unselfconscious in D. H. Lawrence

查泰莱夫人的小说（尤其是小说的第三版）几乎总是被认为是关于性的，但它们主要关注的是身体的体验;它们的叙述试图在康斯坦斯·查泰莱夫人和她的情人奥利弗·帕金/梅勒斯之间关系的发展中找到使身体（特别是性身体）的感觉真实化的方法。1912年，劳伦斯遇到弗里达·韦克利之后，性欲对他来说就成了终极的身体体验;他对我们在“性的全意识实现”（而不是在实际的性行为中）中的身体体验的表达方式的关注在这些小说中是深刻的。

The Lady Chatterley novels (and especially version 3 of the novel) have nearly always been assumed to be about sex, but they are primarily concerned with the experiences of the body; their narratives are attempting to find ways of making actual the feelings of the body (in particular, the sexual body) in the development of the relationship between Lady Constance Chatterley and her lover, Oliver Parkin/Mellors. After Lawrence met Frieda Weekley in 1912, sexual desire became for him the ultimate bodily experience ; and his concern with the way our experience of the body in the 'full conscious realisation of sex' (not in actual sexual acts) can be articulated is profound in these novels.
