초록

This article purports to trace the “adventures” of the heroines in “The Princess” and “The Woman Who Rode Away”, thereby exploring how the settler colonialism —which replaces the original population of the colonized territory with a new society of settlers— has been developed in North America. Lawrence’s fiction as well as essays written in New Mexico in the early 1920s shows his deeping awareness of the history concerning “Indians” (Native Americans) in terms of the future of democracy on this continent. The Princess’s journey with Romero, the Spanish-Mexican guide, into the chaos of the Rockies, signifies witnessing the dire sites of colonization and her own impervious selfhood. The New Mexico setting, however, nearly peels away her sense of identity as a white woman with overgrown mental-consciousness, only to drive into catastrophe. Reversely, the lack, or suspension of the development of consciousness plays a pivotal part in the adventure of “the woman” in “The Woman Who Rode Away”. Whereas her allegorical adventure into the sacred Chilchui Indian tribe could draw even liberal readers, in its creative way, into an experience of otherness, the story itself proves that old culture itself cannot be the alternative to our modern civilization. The “adventures” of these two heroines, limited as they are, will help slough the old (Western) consciousness and open out a new area of consciousness for the new democracy in America.

Abstract

This article purports to trace the “adventures” of the heroines in “The Princess” and “The Woman Who Rode Away”, thereby exploring how the settler colonialism —which replaces the original population of the colonized territory with a new society of settlers— has been developed in North America. Lawrence’s fiction as well as essays written in New Mexico in the early 1920s shows his deeping awareness of the history concerning “Indians” (Native Americans) in terms of the future of democracy on this continent. The Princess’s journey with Romero, the Spanish-Mexican guide, into the chaos of the Rockies, signifies witnessing the dire sites of colonization and her own impervious selfhood. The New Mexico setting, however, nearly peels away her sense of identity as a white woman with overgrown mental-consciousness, only to drive into catastrophe. Reversely, the lack, or suspension of the development of consciousness plays a pivotal part in the adventure of “the woman” in “The Woman Who Rode Away”. Whereas her allegorical adventure into the sacred Chilchui Indian tribe could draw even liberal readers, in its creative way, into an experience of otherness, the story itself proves that old culture itself cannot be the alternative to our modern civilization. The “adventures” of these two heroines, limited as they are, will help slough the old (Western) consciousness and open out a new area of consciousness for the new democracy in America.
