초록

As a young teacher living in Croydon between 1908 and 1911 Lawrence visited various parts of London but there is no evidence he ever visited the East End, the densely-populated working-class and immigrant area located to the east of the City of London. This essay examines what Lawrence may have missed by not having made any contact with this part of London and explores how some of his writing in the years immediately after his departure from Croydon might have been enriched by a familiarity with the East End and some of its inhabitants. The essay begins with an account of the East End in the early twentieth century, with an emphasis on features that might have been of interest and relevance to a young man of working-class background who had been the recipient of a very long education and could claim proven competence in both teaching and writing. This is followed by developing some aspects of East End life which, in the second half of the essay, it is speculated that, had Lawrence been familiar with them, might have offered an enrichment of some of his writing in the years immediately following his departure from Croydon in 1911, in particular the stories he wrote in the course of the National Miner’s Strike of 1912 and his early travel essays, expanded and published as Twilight in Italy in 1916.

Abstract

As a young teacher living in Croydon between 1908 and 1911 Lawrence visited various parts of London but there is no evidence he ever visited the East End, the densely-populated working-class and immigrant area located to the east of the City of London. This essay examines what Lawrence may have missed by not having made any contact with this part of London and explores how some of his writing in the years immediately after his departure from Croydon might have been enriched by a familiarity with the East End and some of its inhabitants. The essay begins with an account of the East End in the early twentieth century, with an emphasis on features that might have been of interest and relevance to a young man of working-class background who had been the recipient of a very long education and could claim proven competence in both teaching and writing. This is followed by developing some aspects of East End life which, in the second half of the essay, it is speculated that, had Lawrence been familiar with them, might have offered an enrichment of some of his writing in the years immediately following his departure from Croydon in 1911, in particular the stories he wrote in the course of the National Miner’s Strike of 1912 and his early travel essays, expanded and published as Twilight in Italy in 1916.
