Mornings in Mexico

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mornings in Mexico is a collection of travel essays by D. H. Lawrence, first published by Martin Secker in 1927. These brief works display Lawrence's gifts as a travel writer, catching the 'spirit of a place' in his own vivid manner.

Lawrence wrote most of these short essays at the same time as he was completing and revising his Mexican novel, The Plumed Serpent.

The eight linked essays are:

  • Corasmin and the Parrots
  • Walk to Huayapa
  • The Mozo
  • Market Day
  • Indians and Entertainment
  • Dance of the Sprouting Corn
  • The Hopi Snake Dance
  • A Little Moonshine with Lemon
