D. H. Lawrence: a Traveller through Cultures
D. H. Lawrence: a Traveller through Cultures

Summary/Abstract: Travelling is a fundamental experience in our society and, particularly in the last decades, it has allowed a continuous movement of groups of people across continents. The sense of displacement and exile, the confrontation with other cultures, the re-configuration of the idea of centre/margin, the concept of borders, frontiers, nation, cultural identity have become a focus of interest in our life and, more specifically, in academic research. These critical perspectives have revived the interest in D. H. Lawrence, one of the most representative literary figures of the 20th century, who lived all his life on borderlines, as he physically and metaphorically crossed many borders, establishing contacts with different cultures and reflecting his experience and his lifelong quest for a significant cultural identity in his writing.
