Abstract
This paper focuses on how Lawrence’s male leadership theme conflicts with his sense of locality in his Australian novel Kangaroo. This focalization allows me to demonstrate the way in which Lawrence’s presentation of the leadership idea undermines its categorization as a ‘leadership’ novel, as exposed in Somers’s ‘self-reflective’ narrative voice and his futile relationship with Australian political leaders such as Kangaroo, Jack, and Struthers. As the novel unfolds, Somers’s increasing apathy about the social reality of the former set of colonies contrasts with his ‘uncanny’ attraction to the Australian landscape, which from start to finish governs the atmosphere of the novel. Once we question Kangaroo’s status as a ‘leadership’ novel, the main focus shifts from the leadership politics to the issues of colonialism: how Lawrence with a keen sense of ‘place’ and ‘difference’ approaches and appropriates the landscape and culture of Australia, a white settler nation under British dominion. Lawrence’s presentation of Australia provides a good chance to look into the sources of cultural conflict that Lawrence as an Englishman felt in presenting this British dominion. In Kangaroo, Lawrence objectifies his conflicting feelings about Australia and records his awakening sense of ‘otherness’ especially through his appropriation of the Australian bush.
