  • A Study of the Escaped Cock
    A Study of The Escaped Cock 論 文 A Study of The Escaped Cock: D. H. Lawrence’s Quest for Pagan Harmony YAMADA Akiko 要 旨 英語題名を和訳すると「『逃げた雄鶏』研究── D. H. ロレンスの異教 的均衡の希求」になる。ロレンスは，キリスト教に代わる宗教として古代 ギリシア・ローマ神話に登場したパン神信仰を，自分の作品において独自 の存在として登場させている。それは，ギリシア・ローマ神話の彼の特徴 を生かしながらも，キリスト教の一道に対して，全てを包含しながらもす べてが均衡を保っている宇宙の在り方を希求する二道の思想の象徴とし て，パン神を描いていることである。パン神はこれまでロレンスの多くの 作品に描かれてきたが，彼の最後の中編小説である『逃げた雄鶏』におい ても，パン神の象徴を力強く描いている。主人公である「死んだが甦った 男」は固有名詞としてのキリストとは一度も書き表されていないが，読者 には，その甦った状況の描き方からキリストを指していることが分かる。 ロレンスは，磔刑にされたが甦ったキリストを，彼が殺される前の生き方 を否定してエルサレムからレバノンまで放浪した後，そこでエジプト神話 に登場する殺されたオシリスを求めるイシスの女神に仕える巫女との出会 いにより，彼女と性的に交わることによって，異教に生きる人間として真 に甦ったことを描く。「甦った男」は，キリスト教の「ロゴス」を否定し， 「肉と血」による生き方こそが人間にとって真のものだ，と悟る。この思 想を，自然における太陽や海，木や花の描写を溢れんばかりの生命力の表 れとして描くとともに，生命力のシンボルとしての，「甦った男」のトー 1 愛知大学 言語と文化 No. 37 テムとしての百姓に飼われていた「逃げた雄鶏」を描いている。 ロレンスのパン神のこれまでの作品における重要性と，『恋する女たち』 において唱道されている「星の均衡」のテーマが『逃げた雄鶏』にも表れ ていることから，パン神及び均衡の主題が『逃げた雄鶏』において中心の 主題であることを述べる。この主題は他の研究者によっては十分に分析さ れていない。『逃げた雄鶏』において，この世界は，大宇宙と小宇宙が対 応し，全てが均衡を保っていることを願うロレンスの新宗教の集大成の思 想が描かれている。 キーワード：雄鶏，太陽，海，バラの花，大いなる日と卑小な日，夜の太陽 Introduction The Escaped Cock was first written in 1927 and published in 1928 when the title of this novella was The Escaped Cock and included only part I. But after one year, part II was added and published in 1929 when the title was changed to The Man Who Died, though D. H. Lawrence, the author, preferred the title of The Escaped Cock.1 The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence edited by M. Herbert, B. Jones and L. Vasey was published with the title of The Escaped Cock in The Virgin and the Gipsy and Other Stories including the novella in 2005. Lawrence continued to write the theme of the God Pan2 from his first novel The White Peacock to the last novel Lady Chatterley’s Lover as the alternative principle to Christianity to revive our world.

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.

  • An Exploration of Female and Male Homosocial Bonds in DH Lawrence's

Lawrence’s ‘serious English novels’ ENGL 3318: Final Year Project Tutor: Dr Fiona Becket Student ID: 200614777 1 Student ID: 200614777 ENGL3318: Final Year Project 2014/15 Dr Fiona Becket Introduction………………………………………………………………… 3 I.

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.

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.

Jones, 1998 Repository: Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin Brett, Dorothy, 1883-1977 Biographical Sketch Dorothy Eugenie Brett, born in 1883, was the eldest daughter of the 2nd Viscount Esher, Reginald Baliol Brett, and his wife Eleanor. Besides Dorothy, called "Doll" by her family, there were two older brothers, Oliver and Maurice, and a younger sister, Sylvia. The children were raised in a restrictive manner similar to other children of the Victorian era. They saw little of their parents, being largely left in the charge of a nanny and other servants. Once the boys were sent to school, a governess was retained for the girls. However, she was dismissed after a short time and the girls' education was left to their mother.
