[lbo-talk] Brit lit goes to hell

[Robert Wrubel]

There's very little overt politics in Lawrence's work, and you can certainly call him a fierce critic of industrialism, in the tradition of Blake.  His solutions and interests, in the literature at least, are mostly on the personal and sexual level, not the social.  I tend to give artists a break on politics; artists and social thinkers are almost opposites, by temperament.  That doesnt include artists, like Martin Amis, who think their fame as artists entitles them to be commentators on history.

His animal poems are pretty good.
