초록

In the growing academic field of ecological studies, D. H. Lawrence’s fiction fits in as one of the most articulated voices promoting ecological consciousness. Each of the texts selected for the study advances Lawrence’s “ethics of responsibility” for the environment: in Sons and Lovers, we may trace the idea of nature as a thing to love and possess like a human lover; in “Second Best,” nature is a parallel soul narrative (the two earlier texts deal more extensively with the first element—earth); in “The Woman Who Rode Away,” Lawrence mythologizes and consecrates the greater level of knowledge about the surrounding non-human world (air); and in the story “Sun,” one of his four ancient elements—fire, embodied in the Sun—becomes personalized, thus indicating a completion of Lawrence’s implied system of ecological awareness. Lawrence constructs in his fiction a consciousness in progression from the physical, the sensual, the emotional—to the cosmic, wherein the non-human world becomes the accessible signification system for the unconscious, not discarding in any sense the value of the cosmos as a mysterious and powerful totality

Abstract

In the growing academic field of ecological studies, D. H. Lawrence’s fiction fits in as one of the most articulated voices promoting ecological consciousness. Each of the texts selected for the study advances Lawrence’s “ethics of responsibility” for the environment: in Sons and Lovers, we may trace the idea of nature as a thing to love and possess like a human lover; in “Second Best,” nature is a parallel soul narrative (the two earlier texts deal more extensively with the first element—earth); in “The Woman Who Rode Away,” Lawrence mythologizes and consecrates the greater level of knowledge about the surrounding non-human world (air); and in the story “Sun,” one of his four ancient elements—fire, embodied in the Sun—becomes personalized, thus indicating a completion of Lawrence’s implied system of ecological awareness. Lawrence constructs in his fiction a consciousness in progression from the physical, the sensual, the emotional—to the cosmic, wherein the non-human world becomes the accessible signification system for the unconscious, not discarding in any sense the value of the cosmos as a mysterious and powerful totality
