The Virgin and the Gipsy
D.H. Lawrence · G. Orioli (Florence) · 1930
The original true first is the Florence (Orioli) limited edition of May 1930, published two months after Lawrence's death. It precedes both the first English trade edition, Martin Secker (London), October 1930, and the first American edition, Alfred A. Knopf (New York), November 1930; all three are collected but the Florence issue holds precedence.
