This essay examines Lawrence’s novelette, St. Mawr (1925), through the lens of his long-held assertion that the horse is a symbol of passion, existing in opposition to a pervasive industrial civilization which mechanizes or deadens human instincts and integrity. After leaving Australia, Lawrence learnt to ride in New Mexico, and Jack Grant’s relationship with the horse in The Boy in the Bush foregrounds Lawrence’s invention of the horse character St. Mawr in the eponymous novelette. The plot in St. Mawr also parallels the period when Lawrence was uniquely pre-occupied with his responses to Australia, America and England and his long-held hopes for convivial community. Through its savage attack on the aristocratic pretensions of the Australian artist Rico, culminating in his maiming by St, Mawr, the novelette reflects Lawrence’s disillusionment with society in Australia and England. His wife Lou’s psycho-sexual fascination with St. Mawr and flight from England to America suggest the possibility of her renewal, albeit qualified by the weight of past hardship endured by those who preceded her on her newly purchased farm.
Abstract
This essay examines Lawrence’s novelette, St. Mawr (1925), through the lens of his long-held assertion that the horse is a symbol of passion, existing in opposition to a pervasive industrial civilization which mechanizes or deadens human instincts and integrity. After leaving Australia, Lawrence learnt to ride in New Mexico, and Jack Grant’s relationship with the horse in The Boy in the Bush foregrounds Lawrence’s invention of the horse character St. Mawr in the eponymous novelette. The plot in St. Mawr also parallels the period when Lawrence was uniquely pre-occupied with his responses to Australia, America and England and his long-held hopes for convivial community. Through its savage attack on the aristocratic pretensions of the Australian artist Rico, culminating in his maiming by St, Mawr, the novelette reflects Lawrence’s disillusionment with society in Australia and England. His wife Lou’s psycho-sexual fascination with St. Mawr and flight from England to America suggest the possibility of her renewal, albeit qualified by the weight of past hardship endured by those who preceded her on her newly purchased farm.
