In this new and original study, Simon Casey explores the
long-neglected link between D. H. Lawrence and philosophical
anarchism. Focusing on the writings of some of the major
anarchists-with particular emphasis on Stirner, Godwin, Bakunin and
Thoreau-this book argues that the conceptual parallels between
Lawrence and anarchism are strong and extensive and that reading
Lawrence within the context of this tradition significantly
enhances any understanding of his work. Lawrence's faith in the
essential decency of human nature, his forceful defense of
individual liberty, and his intolerance of all forms of domination
and control all reflect the essential features of anarchism. Naked
Liberty and the World of Desire looks at where these attitudes find
explicit articulation in Lawrence's essays, poems, and letters, and
shows how they are illustrated in his major works of fiction.
