It’ll not be the soul of me when I was a lad for I hadn’t a soul as would make me an angel then”, voicing an important Lawrentian truth. For Lawrence, “the great relationship” is the relationship between man and woman and the ultimate aspiration of life is to perfect one’s essential being which can only be achieved when an individual is able to polarize his or her primal consciousness with that of another. This paper traces the trajectory of Lawrence’s concept of love and selfhood through his novels. In his early novels such as The White Peacock (1911), Sons and Lovers (1913) and The Rainbow (1915), Lawrence displays a lot of faith in individual relationships which, in fact, become the medium for the self to realize itself.

  • A Study of the Captain's Doll
    A Study of The Captain’s Doll 論 文 A Study of The Captain’s Doll: A Life of “a Hard Destiny” YAMADA Akiko 要 旨 英語題名を和訳すると，「『大尉の人形』研究──「厳しい宿命」の人 生──」になる。1923年に出版された『大尉の人形』は『恋する女たち』， 『狐』及び『アルヴァイナの堕落』等の小説や中編小説と同じ頃に執筆さ れた D. H. ロレンスの中編小説である。これらの作品群は多かれ少なかれ 類似したテーマを持っている。 時代背景は第一次世界大戦直後であり，作品の前半の場所はイギリス軍 占領下のドイツである。主人公であるヘプバーン大尉はイギリス軍に所属 しておりドイツに来たが，そこでハンネレという女性と恋愛関係になる。し かし彼にはイギリスに妻子がいて，二人の情事を噂で聞きつけた妻は，ドイ ツへやってきて二人の仲を阻止しようとする。妻は，生計を立てるために人 形を作って売っていたハンネレが，愛する大尉をモデルにして作った人形 を見て，それを購入したいと言うのだが，彼女の手に渡ることはなかった。 妻は事故で死に，ヘプバーンは新しい人生をハンネレと始めようと思う が，それはこれまでの愛し愛される関係ではなくて，女性に自分を敬愛し 従うことを求める関係である。筆者は，本論において，この関係を男性優 位の関係と捉えるのではなくて，ロレンスが「星の均衡」の関係を求めて いることを論じる。 キーワード：人形的人間，月と星々，敬愛と従順，魔力，太陽と氷河 1 愛知大学 言語と文化 No. 38 Introduction The Captain’s Doll by D. H. Lawrence was published in 1923, and The Fox (1922) and The Ladybird (1923) were published almost at the same time. A few years before Women in Love (1920) and The Lost Girl (1921) had been published, too. These novellas and novels have more or less a common theme which is the new relationship between man and woman. The doll is modeled on a captain in the British army occupying Germany after World War I. The maker of the doll is a refugee aristocrat named Countess Johanna zu Rassentlow, also called Hannele, a single woman. She is Captain Hepburn’s mistress. His wife and children live in England. Hannele and Mitchka who is Hannele’s friend and roommate, make and sell dolls and other beautiful things for a living. Mitchka has a working house. But the captain’s doll was not made to sell but because of Hannele’s love for him. The doll has a symbolic meaning in that he is a puppet of both women, his wife and his mistress.

H. Lawrence had just finished Psychoanalysis of the Unconscious and Fantasia of the Unconscious and rewritten a number of short stories when he “put a long tail” to The Fox, adding the two dreams, the killing of the fox and of Banford. These changes took place between December 1921 and February 1922. To The Fox and The Ladybird, The Captain’s Doll was added, the three novellas being collected in one book published in 1923. Their aesthetic quality may have been one of the reasons for publishing them in one volume. “So modern, so new, a new manner,” Lawrence wrote to Seltzer. The Fox is the longer and different version of a shorter tale written in November 1918 at Hermitage (Berkshire) and cut for magazine publication in The Dial (1919).

  • Darwinian Fitness and Presence in DH Lawrence Sarah Bouttier There Are Numerous Studies On
    Journal of Literature and Science Volume 5, No. 1 (2012) ISSN 1754-646XJournal of Literature and Science 5 (2012) Bouttier, “Fitness and Presence in D. H. Lawrence”: 38-54 Sarah Bouttier, “Fitness and Presence in D. H. Lawrence”: 38-54 “Wherein Does Fitness Lie?”: Darwinian Fitness and Presence in D. H. Lawrence Sarah Bouttier There are numerous studies on the influence of evolution in Lawrence’s works, 1 and as many on Lawrence’s reappraisal of time. 2 Yet few consider these together. Anne Fernihough posits that linear evolutionary time eroded presence and was therefore to be subverted by Lawrence: “For Lawrence, the linear version of time upon which Darwinian theory rests can never capture ‘presence,’ since it is based on the method in which presence is continually deferred. It posits itself [. .] on absence rather than presence” (177). This idea is particularly useful in understanding the conflict between fitness and presence: a Darwinian notion of fitness is at odds with presence because it inserts the life of an organism into a linear conception of time for which the present has in itself no value, since it is only considered in its relationship to the future (will the creature or the characteristic survive?). Presence, in this context, refers to an object’s material and historical existence, what Lawrence believes all art should aim to express. Presence amounts to the “existence of matter” (Lawrence, Phoenix 568) as opposed to “the abstracted reality” ( Phoenix 569) of things as we usually perceive them through our logical minds. In her seminal study, Fernihough frames this thought within a general appraisal of Lawrence’s aesthetics but her point is not specifically to address evolutionary images in Lawrence’s texts.

H. Lawrence.1 Lawrence himself stated that ‘The great relationship, for humanity, will always be the relation between man and woman. The relation between man and man, woman and woman, parent and child, will always be subsidiary.’2 His attitude towards sex, gender and the nature and importance of homosocial relationships, however, were subject to many changes throughout his career. These changes, I argue, are most visible in three closely related novels written across a seven-year span. The first is the female-focused narrative of The Rainbow, banned for obscenity upon publication due to its protagonist’s lesbian affair.3 The second is its sequel, Women in Love, best-known for the ambiguous relationship between its male protagonists, but whose female relationships are also worth studying. The last novel is Aaron’s Rod, a text in which the titular protagonist relinquishes his ties to his family and country and explores the possibilities of bonds with other men.

  • D. H. Lawrence's Political Philosophy As Expressed in His Novels
    RICE UNIVERSITY D. H. LAWRENCE'S POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY AS EXPRESSED IN HIS NOVELS BY GARY LEWIS TYERYAR A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director’s signatures Houston, Texas June, 1963 3 1 272 00675 0754 ABSTRACT As I have indicated in my title, the subject of this thesis is the political philosophy of D. H. Lawrence as expressed in his novels. X had originally intended to present a general, critical analysis of the political philosophy^ but as research progressed, it seemed necessary for me to discover exactly what political views Lawrence really held. Therefore, the thesis has become, to a very large extent, a presentation and an organization of the strictly factual material that I have found in Lawrence's novels. In order to be absolutely fair to Lawrence, I have presented this material, as often as possible, in Lawrence's words rather than my own* My concern has been with the facts, rather than with a criticism or an evaluation of the facts* The chief contribution that I have made is in extracting the facts, and organizing them. I have taken the liberty, however, of selecting novels which I consider characteristic of the man. They are: Sons and Lovers. The Rainbow* Women in Love. Aaron's Rod. Kangaroo. The Plumed Serpent. and Lady Chatterley's Lover. Apocalypse and"Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine" are also discussed. The facts have been organized into the following categories: The Genesis of Lawrence's Ideas, Lawrence's Anti-Capitalistic and Anti-Mechanization Views, Lawrence’s Anti-Democratic Leanings and his Attitude Toward War, The Communist and Fascist Questions, and Individual Liberty, Leadership and Power.

  • A Thematic Analysis of DH Lawrence's St Mawr

H. Lawrence’s St Mawr Dr. Pyeaam ABBASİ1,*, Roohollah DATLİ BEİGİ2 1Assistant professor of English literature, English department, Faculty of Foreign Languages, University of Isfahan, Hezar Jerib St., Isfahan, Iran. 2English department, Faculty of Foreign Languages, University of Isfahan, Isfahan, Iran Received: 01.02.2015; Accepted: 05.05.2015 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract. D. H. Lawrence’s St Mawr (1925) is known as a modernist example of an open-ended and inconclusive work of art. The novella is abound with ideological dualities such as nature vs. civilization; man vs. woman, and body vs. spirit that stem from and make the core of the writer’s personal, philosophical and political beliefs. This article argues that the open-endedness of the novella is more a sign of Lawrence’s artistic weakness at handling an overload of symbols and ideas rather than a modernist element enriching the novella with different layers of meaning open to different interpretations. It is argued that, approaching the end, the reader feels that he is entrapped within a complex web of ideas for which Lawrence’s attempt to reach a resolution proves futile. Lawrence’s artistic weakness shows itself in his uncertainty regarding a resolution for the complicated dualities and mysterious symbols he introduces in his novella. St Mawr, accordingly, seems an unfinished work overloaded with philosophical ideas rather than a multi- layered text created by the visionary power of the imagination.

INGERSOLL As Marina Ragachewskaya has recently indicated in this journal, Lawrence’s interest in the art of dance has received renewed attention in the 2010s.1 The subject has been thought to have opened with two notable investigations:2 ‘D. H. Lawrence and the Dance’ (1992) by Mark Kinkead-Weekes and then ‘Music and Dance in D. H. Lawrence’ (1997) by Elgin W. Mellown, who apparently was unaware that Kinkead-Weekes had blazed the trail before him, since his article contains no mention of this earlier work.3 Another writer who missed Kinkead-Weekes’s article, with its endnote citations from Martin Green’s Mountain of Truth: The Counterculture Begins, Ascona, 1900‒1920, was Terri Ann Mester, whose interpretations of dance scenes in Lawrence’s fiction could have benefited from even a cursory reading of Green’s 1986 study.4 Mester cites Deborah Jowitt’s Time and the Dancing Image, but she does not explore Jowitt’s very brief commentary upon Rudolf Laban and Mary Wigman, which might have provided her with yet another avenue of access to Green’s Mountain of Truth.5 To close this circle, Kinkead-Weekes then responded to Mester’s monograph in his keynote address at the 2003 International D.
