«The Virgin and the Gipsy» is the novel by D. H. Lawrence, published by Penguin Books in paperback (96 pages, in English).
In post-war England, Yvette and Lucille, two sisters trapped in a home dominated by their grandmother and aunt, live under the weight of oppressive domesticity after the scandal of their mother's flight. Lawrence explores instinct, intuition, and the emotional awakening of a young woman before the elemental presence of a gipsy.
Work originally published in 1930 and reissued by Penguin in this 1970 edition. The title alludes to the film of the same name starring Joanna Shimkus and Franco Nero, as stated on the cover.
For readers of classic English literature and the work of D. H. Lawrence, interested in a short novel about desire and social repression.
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.
