Ye Drunken Damozel: The Tavern in the Folly by Simon Jesty
Requirements: .PDF reader, 17.8 MB
Overview: Somewhat phantasmagorical novel about a young fellow, the bastard son of a sailor, who grows up in a grimy quayside London cul-de-sac and falls in love with a "slum-sprite" girl whose lowlife father runs the titular pub. Returning some years later from military service, he finds that she's run off and become a celebrated chanteuse; he tracks her down to Rio, but she denies her younger identity, which of course forces him to spend the rest of the book trying to win her back. The New York Times reviewer, although admiring of the writer's style, was somewhat nonplussed by the novel, calling it "a novel from Mars . . . a strange creation -- terse, elliptical, obscure, peculiarly foreshortened" -- and yet "a rich and varied dish, succinctly portioned out and well flavored with excitement."
Published 1932 by Harrison Smith & Robert Haas, New York
Genre: Fiction > General Fiction/Classics
