Résumé
Alvina Houghton is the only daughter of James Houghton, a merchant in the English Midlands whose business sense is insufficient to ensure his family's prosperity. Alvina is independent-minded and struggles to fit in with the society around her-none of the available men spark her interest, and she begins training as a maternity nurse more out of a sense of obligation than of duty. As her father's business continues to do poorly, he decides to open a theater, with Alvina helping by playing the piano.
A traveling troupe of international entertainers arrive, and Alvina soon falls in love with one of them, an Italian named Ciccio. As the outbreak of the First World War looms, Alvina feels drawn to rural Italy to live with her love. But after having spent a lifetime as an aimless, freethinking, and unconstrained spirit, can she adapt to the expectations of society firmly entrenched in the past? Like many of D.
H. Lawrence's novels, The Lost Girl is built around a realistic depiction of English Midland life and society. Despite modern assessments placing it among the lesser of his novels, it won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for Fiction in 1920. D. H. Lawrence (died 1930) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide.
As a work of classic literary fiction, The Lost Girl exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
