D.H. Lawrence's Final Fictions: A Lacanian Perspective explores how
literature thinks; more specifically, how the reading of fiction
influences behavior. Lawrence writes passionately about our
alienation from ourselves, from other people, and from the cosmos.
He believes that we need to heed the voices of our unconscious, and
he shows us how to meld body and mind so that, psychoanalytically
speaking, Id and Ego can come together. In this endeavor there is a
salient convergence between Lawrence's writings and those of
Jacques Lacan, the French psychoanalyst. In this book, Stoltzfus
examines the poetics of seven major fictions that Lawrence wrote
between 1925 and 1930, five productive years that are referred to
as his fabulation period. In each of the book's seven chapters, in
tandem with Lacan's writings, Stoltzfus analyzes seven major
characters, four of whom move from alienation to the renewal of
self and the cosmos. He argues that Lawrence's fiction is
simultaneously descriptive and prescriptive by showing us how to
circumvent dysfunction. Stoltzfus brings literature and
psychoanalysis together in readings that are both aesthetic and
epistemological. They are recipes for curing the Anthropocene.
