...late D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, the most outspoken novel yet written on sexual unhappiness, its cause and cure. Those who read it remember, besides its paeans to physical passion, punctuated by Anglo-Saxon four-letter words and North-country dialect, its Lawrentian plot: how Lady Constance Chatterley, full-blooded young wife to a paralytic peer, sought fulfillment elsewhere and found it with Mellors, her husband's gamekeeper.

Every family head owns his own plot of ground, contributes a tithe of his produce to the community and seven days' labor a year to public works. Equal suffrage was instituted long before any European nation had it. School attendance is compulsory. Each family has a brand with which it marks all its possessions, animate and inanimate. The local government consists of a council of seven headed by a magistrate. There is no such thing as money, and only occasional mail from the outside world...
