D. H. Lawrence, Transport and Cultural Transition
'A Great Sense of Journeying'
Checking Availibility...Description
This book discusses D. H. Lawrence's interest in, and engagement with, transport as a literal and metaphorical focal point for his ontological concerns. Focusing on five key novels, this book explores issues of mobility, modernity and gender. First exploring how mechanized transportation reflects industry and patriarchy inSons and Lovers, the book then considers issues of female mobility inThe Rainbow, the signifying of war transport inWomen in Love, revolution and the meeting of primitive and modern inThe Plumed Serpent, and the reflection of dystopian post-war concerns inLady Chatterley's Lover. Appealing to Lawrence, modernist, and mobilities researchers, this book is also of interest to readers interested in early twentieth century society, the First World War and transport history.
