초록

After the Second World War D. H. Lawrence left ‘the waste land’ of England and searched for the possibility of a new ‘place’ while living and experiencing a sense of place in several locations including Italy, Ceylon, Australia, Mexico and New Mexico in Northern America. He attempted to put his experience of each of those places in “The Spirit of Place,” the first chapter of Studies in Classic American Literature, which significantly demonstrates what his sense of place means. The idea of ‘the spirit of place’ is essential to appreciating St. Mawr, which was written in a wild and mystical place called Toas in New Mexico. Lou, the female protagonist of St Mawr, has been to so many places in Europe that she is ‘at home anywhere and nowhere.’ An encounter with St. Mawr, however, leads her into the reality of ‘another world,’ so that life in London becomes unreal to her. Coming into contact with Lewis, the Welsh groom, and understanding his Celtic tradition also opens up ‘another world’ of others in human society, while the encounter with St. Mawr can be seen to reveal the world of other of non-human beings. Experiences with ‘another world’ through St. Mawr and Lewis bring Lou into a significant communion with the spirit of place as the supernatural other in the wild America. Such encounters with others, in particular the guard/spirit of place, can contribute to an examination of the new possibility of restoring the ‘placeless’ area into a resuscitated place.

Abstract

After the Second World War D. H. Lawrence left ‘the waste land’ of England and searched for the possibility of a new ‘place’ while living and experiencing a sense of place in several locations including Italy, Ceylon, Australia, Mexico and New Mexico in Northern America. He attempted to put his experience of each of those places in “The Spirit of Place,” the first chapter of Studies in Classic American Literature, which significantly demonstrates what his sense of place means. The idea of ‘the spirit of place’ is essential to appreciating St. Mawr, which was written in a wild and mystical place called Toas in New Mexico. Lou, the female protagonist of St Mawr, has been to so many places in Europe that she is ‘at home anywhere and nowhere.’ An encounter with St. Mawr, however, leads her into the reality of ‘another world,’ so that life in London becomes unreal to her. Coming into contact with Lewis, the Welsh groom, and understanding his Celtic tradition also opens up ‘another world’ of others in human society, while the encounter with St. Mawr can be seen to reveal the world of other of non-human beings. Experiences with ‘another world’ through St. Mawr and Lewis bring Lou into a significant communion with the spirit of place as the supernatural other in the wild America. Such encounters with others, in particular the guard/spirit of place, can contribute to an examination of the new possibility of restoring the ‘placeless’ area into a resuscitated place.
