About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1930. First American edition. 8vo, publisher’s original orange cloth, lettered in black on the upper cover, the spine with black and green geometric designs. In the original printed and decorated dustjacket. 175. A very good copy of the book, the jacket well worn and with some staining. ONE OF LAWRENCE’S MOST FAMOUS BOOKS. Published posthumously, this novel did not receive final revision by the author, but was printed directly from the original manuscript as it was written.
“Shortly before he died, D. H. Lawrence completed The Virgin and the Gipsy, the first of his novels to be published since Lady Chatterley’s Lover. The story is one in which his individualistic philosophy finds the fullest opportunity for expression...Mr. Lawrence’s novel reaches an emotional intensity unsurpassed by any of his previous writings.”-Publisher
