D. H. Lawrence: A Study of Literary Fascism by Abdulla M. Al-Dabbagh (English) H

Description: D. H. Lawrence by Abdulla M. Al-Dabbagh, Karen Marguerite Radell D. H. Lawrence FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book is an analysis of the social and political outlook of D.H. Lawrence as determined by the development and conflict of the social forces of his time. It discusses, specifically, the relationship between Lawrences ideas, as an essayist and novelist, and the ruling ideology of imperialism, reaching the conclusion that Lawrence refused to face and oppose capitalist reality. He either escaped into an imaginary, anarchic utopia, or, more frequently, "criticized" capitalist relationships from the standpoint of a fascist, militaristic division into rulers and mob, aristocrats and plebeians. Lawrences letters during the First World War provide the documents that reveal the genesis of his fascist outlook. The book also traces Lawrences attitude towards socialism throughout his literary career and concludes that anti-socialism, with varying intensity, remained an essential part of his outlook. Certain assumptions, like a contempt for man as a social being and the existential division of human beings into higher and lower creatures – into the "average" and the "exceptional" – that were basic to his outlook, are shown to be the determining factors in the writing of Lawrences novels. The book ends with an analysis of the historical roots of the reactionary intelligentsia and discusses Lawrences relationships with the various cultural and ideological trends of his time, dealing also with the different tactics used by the critics to hide the true nature of his political ideas.
