Re: [Marxism] The Method



D.H. Lawrence is certainly an interesting case. As I recall, there was
anothe article in the New York Review of Books (unless it was the same Shecker
article you referenced) that dealt with Lawrence's anti-democratic strain in
conjunction with Yeats, Eliot and one other - perhaps Wynham Lewis? But isn't
it
these tendencies in tension that make the art? Just as much as the sexual
ambivalence apparent in his work, especially Plumed Serpent, his longing for
the
"red Indian," which appears in other work as well?

On the other hand, nostalgia for a real or imagined past does not necessary
betoken reactionary sentiment. Certainly William Morris could be said to have
hankered after a pre-industrial world of agricultural communities and
craftsmen but that doesn't translate of necessity into proto-fascism.
