The first full-length account of D.H. Lawrence's rich engagement
with a country he found both fascinating and frustrating, D.H.
Lawrence's Australia focuses on the philosophical, anthropological
and literary influences that informed the utopian and regenerative
visions that characterise so much of Lawrence's work. David Game
gives particular attention to the four novels and one novella
published between 1920 and 1925, what Game calls Lawrence's
'Australian period,' shedding new light on Lawrence's attitudes
towards Australia in general and, more specifically, towards
Australian Aborigines, women and colonialism. He revisits key
aspects of Lawrence's development as a novelist and thinker,
including the influence of Darwin and Lawrence's rejection of
eugenics, Christianity, psychoanalysis and science. While Game
concentrates on the Australian novels such as Kangaroo and The Boy
in the Bush, he also uncovers the Australian elements in a range of
other works, including Lawrence's last novel, Lady Chatterley's
Lover. Lawrence lived in Australia for just three months, but as
Game shows, it played a significant role in his quest for a way of
life that would enable regeneration of the individual in the face
of what Lawrence saw as the moral collapse of modern industrial
civilisation after the outbreak of World War I.
