Green Modernism: Uprooted Humans, Nature, and Eco-Intimacy in Lady Chatterley’s Lover

Öz

The processes of modernization, industrialization and the Great War at the beginning of the twentieth century so terribly ruined environments and affected humans. Thus something natural and humane was lost at that period. Such human disenchantment from nature is, broadly speaking, at the heart of what Jeffrey Mathes McCarthy calls “green modernism.” Green modernism investigates how anthropocentric practices have led to the dualism of human and nature in the modernist literature. Regarded as part of green modernism, D. H. Lawrence narrates the ways in which the mechanized industry attempts to subjugate nature and humans in Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928). Indeed, Lawrence does not repudiate the Cartesian boundary between nature and humans. Instead, he acknowledges that although human bodies are “uprooted” by industrialization, they are intimately interconnected with nonhuman environments. On this view, the article argues that Lady Chatterley’s Lover puts forward to a green modernist idea that human bodies and selves become part of the natural world, and the lost connection with green nature might only be re-discovered by social and sexual rejuvenation. Highlighting human ecological embeddedness, D. H. Lawrence exemplifies the realization of human relation to green nature in the relationship between the main characters Connie and Mellors. Drawing on ecocritical discussions and Lawrence’s insights into sexuality, this study explores the human-nature relationship and ecological intimacy in Lady Chatterley’s Lover.
