Within an anthropological perspective that addresses the relationship between culture and nature, community and place, the essay focuses initially on the functionality of the island -- seen as an extreme and ambivalent place -- and the spectrum of meanings assumed by the island concept in Lawrence's work. Emphasis then shifts to the story "The Man Who Loved Islands", in which a gradual transition takes place from the island of the Utopian tradition, representing the place of a perfect community, to the anthropomorphic viewpoint, where the island becomes an extention of the ego and the place of utter isolation, leading ultimately to death.
