Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show Lawrence’s pioneering anticipation of the recent ecocritical debate and his well-deserved position in the field of the Environmental Humanities. For convenience, I will limit my focus as follows: to The Trespasser (1912) and The Man Who Loved Islands (1927), two works which treat the human tendency to commit crimes against Nature. In addition, Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928), Lawrence’s last novel, and Sketches of Etruscan Places (1927) a collection of travel essays published posthumously, will serve to illustrate his indefatigable search for a bridge, a connection between human beings and the surrounding environment.
