D. H. Lawrence, Transport and Cultural Transition

This book discusses D. H. Lawrence's interest in, and engagement with, transport as a literal and metaphorical focal point for his ontological concerns. Focusing on five key novels, this book explores issues of mobility, modernity and gender. First exploring how mechanized transportation reflects industry and patriarchy in , the book then considers issues of female mobility in , the signifying of war transport in , revolution and the meeting of primitive and modern in , and the reflection of dystopian post-war concerns in . Appealing to Lawrence, modernist, and mobilities researchers, this book is also of interest to readers interested in early twentieth century society, the First World War and transport history.
