Index of prison break Resurrection1/9/2024 If one counts the fictional portrayals of the philosopher in Women in Love and "The Blind Man," this dialogue spans the length of the war, although their active relationship is confined to 1915. In this paper, I will examine one of the major ways in which Lawrence responds to the war, his dialogue with Bertrand Russell. Lawrence responded to the war in many ways at the time – the "philosophy" that we have in the forms of the Study of Thomas Hardy and "The Crown," and which went through subsequent, now lost, drafts the nihilism of Women in Love the serious interest in theosophy, which lasted for many years after the war the plans for Rananim, The Signature a passionate series of letters and many others. The war smashed Lawrence, as an artist and as a man, and I would disagree with Krockel's thesis only insofar as he sees the beginning of a healing process at work in the final draft of Lady Chatterley's Lover (153-4). 1 In his recent book War Trauma and English Modernism, Carl Krockel argues that Lawrence suffered from "war trauma," throughout not only the war years but for almost the entire remainder of his life.
