"New D.H. Lawrence" uses current and emergent approaches in
literary studies to explore one of Britain’s major modernist
writers. The collection features new work by the current generation
of Lawrence scholars, who are brought together here for the first
time. Chapters include: Andrew Harrison on the marketing of
"Sons and Lovers"; Howard J. Booth on The "Rainbow," Marxist
criticism and colonialism; Holly A. Laird on ethics and suicide in
"Women in Love"; High Stevens on psychoanalysis and war in "Women
in Love"; Jeff Wallace on Lawrence, Deleuze and abstraction;
Stefania Michelucci on myth and war in "The Ladybird"; Bethan Jones
on gender and comedy in the late short fiction; Fiona Becket on
green cultural critique, "Apocalypse and Birds," "Beasts and
Flowers"; and Sean Matthews on class, Leavis and the trial of Lady
Chatterley. "New D.H. Lawrence" will be of interest to all
concerned with contemporary writing on Lawrence, modernism and
English radical cultures.
This is the first book to explore the relationship between literary
modernism and the British Empire. Contributors look at works from
the traditional modernist canon as well as extending the range of
work addresses - particularly emphasising texts from the Empire. A
key issue raised is whether modernism sprang from a crisis in the
colonial system, which it sought to extend, or whether the modern
movement was a more sophisticated form of cultural imperialism. The
chapters in Modernism and empire show the importance of empire to
modernism. Patrick Williams theorises modernism and empire; Rod
Edmond discusses theories of degeneration in imperial and modernist
discourse; Helen Carr examines Imagism and empire; Elleke Boehmer
compares Leonard Woolf and Yeats; Janet Montefiore writes on
Kipling and Orwell, C.L. Innes explores Yeats, Joyce and their
implied audiences; Maire Ni Fhlathuin writes on Patrick Pearse and
modernism; John Nash considers newspapers, imperialism and Ulysses;
Howard J. Booth addresses D.H. Lawrence and otherness; Nigel Rigby
discusses Sylvia Townsend Warner and sexuality in the Pacific; Mark
Williams explores Mansfield and Maori culture; Abdulrazak Gurnah
looks at Karen Blixen, Elspeth Huxley and settler writing; and Bill
Ashcroft and John Salter take an inter-disciplinary approach to
Australia and 'Modernism's Empire'. -- .
