"This is an analysis of the work of D. H. Lawrence in light of new theories about space and location, or place and community." "The introductory chapter explains the theoretical premises, drawing extensively from anthropology and culture, and offering theories based on semiotics, sociological concerns and recent research in human geography and environmentalism.". "Succeeding chapters analyze functional aspects of place and space in the major novels and stories and also in lesser-known texts, both fiction and nonfiction."--BOOK JACKET.
