In a small, quiet village somewhere on the English countryside, the rector's daughter dreams of the world beyond her limited world. It's all just a pie-in-the-sky dream, however, until a handsome gypsy enters her life and adds a layer of mystery and hope. Even though she wants to cave into her desires and allow herself to be swept away by the stranger, she is held firmly in place by the conventions of her time. Only when a major catastrophe wipes the slate clean can she allow herself to step away from the tight restrictions. In Virgin and the Gypsy, D. H. Lawrence puts all the ideas and observations he'd made throughout his career to come up with a crystallized version of his critique on Victorian sensibilities. | The Virgin And The Gipsy by D. H.
