Abstract des Autors

D.H. Lawrence's contempt for democracy, expressed in his letters as well as his fiction, is no secret. On the basis of his authoritarian politics and his irrational belief in 'blood knowledge', both of which are strikingly dramatized in his novel The Plumed Serpent (1926), Lawrence can be considered a proponent of Fascism. Analysis of this strange novel of an imagined Mexican revolution demonstrates that Lawrence's view of the human body - or bodies - was integral to his political vision. Verf.-Referat
