In 1960, D.H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterly's Lover came out for the first time in an unexpregated form as a mass market paperback. One strand of thought at the time presented the publication of the book as some kind of breakthrough - but was it above all a matter of language? Today we're talking about a way of looking at the history of English from the point of view of women and with academic Jenny Nutter on Mother Tongue.
