The Virgin And The Gypsy: Discovered after Lawrence's death and recognised as a Lawrentian distillation of sexuality and morality. Set in a small village in the English countryside, a secluded, sensitive rector's daughter 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 paralysed 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. St Mawr: The story of a splendid Welsh stallion whose vitality forces Lou Carrington towards an awareness of life, exposing the withered roots of her marriage to a talentless artist. It is also the first of Lawrence's writing to be partially set in America, on a ranch in Arizona.
