This is the "author's unabridged popular edition", printed to foil the pirated copies Lawrence knew were being sold in the U. S. Lawrence writes in the introduction, "And in spite of all antagonisms, I put forth this novel as an honest, healthy book, necessary for us to-day. The words that shock so much at first don't shock at all after a while. People without minds may go on being shocked, but they don't matter. People with minds realize they aren't shocked, and never really were and they experience a sense of relief.
