The Virgin and the Gipsy was discovered in France after D. H.
Lawrence's death in 1930. Immediately recognized as a masterpiece
in which Lawrence had distilled and purified his ideas about
sexuality and morality, The Virgin and the Gipsy has become a
classic and is one of Lawrence's most electrifying short
novels.
Set in a small village in the English countryside, this is the
story of a secluded, sensitive rector's daughter who yearns for
meaning beyond the life to which she seems doomed. When she meets a
handsome young gipsy whose life appears different from hers in
every way, she is immediately smitten and yet still paralyzed by
her own fear and social convention. Not until a natural catastrophe
suddenly, miraculously sweeps away the world as she knew it does a
new world of passion open for her. Lawrence's spirit is infused by
all his tenderness, passion, and knowledge of the human soul.
