Abstract. In the article the concept of "disability" as a socio-psychological category, which plays a significant role in the structure of the English modernist novel, is considered. The symptomatic character of this phenomenon in the XX century is shown by the example of the novel "Lady Chatterley’s Lover" by D. H. Lawrence that has given the name to a disability form resulting from injury, often during the First World War. The gender aspect of disability and its artistic realization in the novel are also studied. It is proved that the writer gives his central character a disintegrated identity where the natural integrity of the person in the aspect of body and spirit correlation is disrupted.
