Research Abstract

1. The representations of the crowd in Kangaroo (1923) and St.Mawr (1925) by D.H.Lawrence (1885-1930), a British modernist writer, were compared. As a result, it has turned out that the potential of the crowd and revenge disappears in St.Mawr.
2. By reference to what Walter Benn Michaels terms "nativist modernism," the representation of Asia in St.Mawr was analyzed in terms of its meaning and function. It has become clear that "the core of Asia" is meant to be "Tartary" and that St.Mawr expresses the same sense of crisis over the Yellow Peril as The Rising Tide of Color against White World-Supremacy by Lothrop Stoddard (1883-1950), superimposing the America fear on Europe. But a close examination of the features of evil has revealed that evil from "the core of Asia" becomes, as it were, a floating signifier without a clear referent within the text.
3. By reference to some works of Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault, St.Mawr and The Plumed Serpent (1926) were examined in terms of Nazism and imperialism. As a result, it has been proved that St.Mawr is more involved with nativism than Michaels allows and that The Plumed Serpent is anti-imperialistic as well as Nazistic.
