‘The Virgin and the Gipsy’ was published after Lawrence’s death in 1930. It tells the story of two sisters (perhaps based on Frieda Lawrence’s daughters) who live in a stultifying rectory with their dreadful grandmother , weak father and frustrated aunt. The girls are torn between the need to lead a ‘respectable’ life and the need to fulfil themselves both socially and sexually. The older sister finally breaks free when a flood forces her into the arms of a sensual Gipsy.
