«St. Mawr and The Virgin and the Gypsy» brings together two short novels by D. H. Lawrence in English, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (256 pages).
The two short novels champion instinct and intuition against the constraints of civilization. In «St. Mawr», a woman falls in love with a wild horse and abandons an empty marriage. In «The Virgin and the Gipsy», a young woman confined in an oppressive home finds in a gypsy a path to liberation.
The edition belongs to Penguin's Twentieth Century Classics series and was published on 26 July 1990.
For readers of English classics who want two brief narratives about desire and the tension between the individual and social norms.
David Herbert Lawrence was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialisation, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. Four of his most famous novels – Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) – were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality, and use of explicit language.
