This is the first ecocritical book on the works of D. H. Lawrence
and also the first to consider the links between nature and gender
in the poetry and the novels. In his search for a balanced
relationship between male and female characters, what role does
nature play in the challenges Lawrence offers his readers? How far
are the anxieties of his characters in negotiating relationships
that might threaten their sense of self derived from the same
source as their anxieties about engaging with the Other in nature?
Indeed, might Lawrence's metaphors drawn from nature actually be
the causes of human actions in The Rainbow, for example? The
originality of Lawrence's poetic and narrative strategies for
challenging social attitudes towards both nature and gender can be
revealed by new approaches offered by ecocritical theory and
ecofeminist readings of his books. This book explores ecocritical
notions to frame its ecofeminist readings, from the difference
between the 'Other' and 'otherness' in The White Peacock and Lady
Chatterley's Lover, 'anotherness' in the poetry of Birds, Beasts
and Flowers, psychogeography in Sea and Sardinia, emergent
ecofeminism in Sons and Lovers, land and gender in The Boy in the
Bush, gender dialogics in Kangaroo, human animality in Women in
Love, trees as tests in Aaron's Rod, to 'radical animism' in The
Plumed Serpent. Finally, three late tales provide a reassessment of
ecofeminist insights into Lawrence's work for readers in the
present context of the Anthropocene.
