초록
Lawrence received much from German culture for his development as a writer. His German spouse Frieda provided him with an insight into the problems of modern society through her mediation between him and counterculture of Munich-Schwabing. They shared rebellious spirit against the moral, religious, and political authorities in the cause of liberation of individual and culture. But the truths about the impact of Lawrence’s personal ties to Frieda have been largely neglected or distorted. Bertrand Russell erroneously intimated involvement of psychoanalysis and Frieda in Lawrence’s alleged fascist inclination. Contrary to this, Frieda and psychoanalysis worked to keep Lawrence’s authoritarian tendency in check. If Russell wanted to associate Lawrence with Frieda, F. R. Leavis did the opposite by trying to separate the writer from her influence, and reduced her presence to “an amoral German aristocrat.” But thanks to her support, Lawrence could experience the potency of eros to liberate psyche and culture from the burden of religious, moral, and political dogma, and maintain his belief in it all his life. Lawrence’s idea was closely woven into the community of Europe, particularly the German critique of modernization and materialism. To understand this context, we need to revaluate the vital role Frieda had.
Abstract
Lawrence received much from German culture for his development as a writer. His German spouse Frieda provided him with an insight into the problems of modern society through her mediation between him and counterculture of Munich-Schwabing. They shared rebellious spirit against the moral, religious, and political authorities in the cause of liberation of individual and culture. But the truths about the impact of Lawrence’s personal ties to Frieda have been largely neglected or distorted. Bertrand Russell erroneously intimated involvement of psychoanalysis and Frieda in Lawrence’s alleged fascist inclination. Contrary to this, Frieda and psychoanalysis worked to keep Lawrence’s authoritarian tendency in check. If Russell wanted to associate Lawrence with Frieda, F. R. Leavis did the opposite by trying to separate the writer from her influence, and reduced her presence to “an amoral German aristocrat.” But thanks to her support, Lawrence could experience the potency of eros to liberate psyche and culture from the burden of religious, moral, and political dogma, and maintain his belief in it all his life. Lawrence’s idea was closely woven into the community of Europe, particularly the German critique of modernization and materialism. To understand this context, we need to revaluate the vital role Frieda had.
