Résumé : "The Virgin and the Gipsy" is a novella written by the English author D. H. Lawrence. It was written in 1926 but was not published until 1930, after Lawrence's death. The novella tells the story of Yvette Saywell, a sheltered and repressed young woman from a respectable family, and a charismatic and free-spirited gipsy named Carroway. When the gipsy encampment arrives near her family's home, Yvette is drawn to Carroway and begins to question the constraints of her conventional upbringing. The story explores themes of sexuality, desire, and the clash between societal expectations and individual freedom. D. H. Lawrence is known for his explorations of human psychology and the complexities of human relationships. "The Virgin and the Gipsy" is no exception, as it delves into the inner lives and desires of its characters. It is celebrated for its lyrical and sensual prose and its depiction of a young woman's awakening to her own desires and emotions.
Biographie : David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English writer, novelist, short story writer, poet and essayist. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialization, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. His best-known novels-Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover-were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of sexuality and use of explicit language.
