I need some classic novels about forbidden love?
i'm looking for real classics here, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, William Shakespeare (though not Romeo and Juliet, sorry) etc etc, but as you can tell, my knowledge is limited.
If you could post something about its storyline, great!
Thanks in advance (:

Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence. Is quite racy and was banned in the UK when it ws first published. It's not obscene, just a shock at the time. OK, it is pretty graphic. Don't want you get in trouble.
For the most tragic and true story of forbidden love, it has to be the story of Abelard and Heloise. Just look it up.
