초록

D. H. Lawrence is one of the writers whose oeuvre has to be perceived as one organic system. In other words, intertextuality is the very key to grasping his often paradoxical, sensational, and controversial works of art. For example, “Snake,” one of the representative animal poems published in Birds, Beasts, and Flowers (1923), “You Touched Me,” a weird wedding story published in England, My England (first written in 1919, published in 1920 and 1922), and “Sun,” another bizarre story in The Woman Who Rode Away and Other Stories (written around 1920 to 1922, published in 1926 and 1928) share the writer’s life-long ambition to create mythology of his own: the myth which attempts to revolutionize the fixed mind that has long been exposed to the tradition of Western civilization. As a radical mythologist, whose goal is to play with the grand narratives and deconstruct the conventional belief system, he re-writes the story of Genesis with a view to rescue the demonic creature “snake” into the real world. In this paper, I would demonstrate that he performs the role of a mythologist which Roland Barthes explores in his 1957 collection of essays, Mythologies; and by understanding the intertextuality of Lawrence’s mythopoeic narratives, I would argue that he creates a world where what he calls “a revolution for fun” takes place.
