A study of perspectives in d. H. Lawrence's travel-books
The following travel-books have been examined: twilight in italy, sea and sardinia, mornings in mexico, etruscan places, first each in its turn as lawrence's real journeys were presented. Then, a more synthetical approach has been adopted to deal with the following points: analysis of the different points of view chosen by lawrence when describing; survey of the openings onto other places; study of the ways in which lawrence tackles the issues of time and history; account of how an inner space is created in the narrative thanks to the use of foreign terms, italics and quotations, to the play with primary and secondary levels of narration and to the use of several processes of recurrence; examination of the perspectives conjured up by the comparisons and metaphors one can find in the travel-books.
