"Smelling the Land Again: D.H. Lawrence and His Environmental Revolution"

This article explores D. H. Lawrence’s engagement with the non-human world through an eco-materialist lens, reevaluating his poetry’s role in shaping twentieth-century ecological consciousness. Challenging proto-environmentalist readings, it positions Lawrence within a post-humanist framework that renegotiates the relationship between individual and natural history, emphasizing the interconnections between human and non-human realities. By tracing Lawrence’s perceptual approach to nature, the study demonstrates how modernist literature redefines the environment, shifting from environment-as-object to environment-as-being.
