An annotated copy of D.H. Lawrence's novel"Lady Chatterley's Lover," which featured sexual descriptions and prompted a much-publicized obscenity trial in the UK nearly 60 years ago, has been barred from leaving the country.
On Monday, UK Arts Minister Michael Ellis issued a temporary export block of the book in an effort to keep it inside Britain.Last October, the book was sold at auction for a £56,250 . While Ellis did not indicate where the auction winner lives, his statement says the copy is 'at risk" of leaving the UK.Monday's temporary ban now gives a UK organization or individual up until October to match that buying price.
