The Mexican Religion of D. H. Lawrence: An Analysis of the Religion Created by D. H. Lawrence in the Plumed Serpent

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The Plumed Serpent. D. H. Lawrence's novel based on his experiences in old and New Mexico, occupies a unique place of importance in the understanding of D. H. Lawrence's religious thought. Religion, it is true, is a recurrent topic in the works of Lawrence. He hinted at his theological beliefs in other novels, and he tried to partially explain them in many of his essays and reviews; but only in The Plumed Serpent did he fully formulate his theology and give it dogmatic and ritualistic expression. Here, Lawrence created a religion, replete with symbols and gods, and offered it as a serious solution to the theological problems of Mexico.
