1. Introduction: 'Great motions carry us': Lawrence, Transport, and Shifting Cultures -- 2. "'Love should give a sense of freedom, not of prison"': Transport, Male Mobility and Female Space in Sons and Lovers -- 3. 'She was a traveller on the face of the earth': Transport as Female Dissent in The Rainbow -- 4. 'Yet underneath was death itself': Transports and Subtexts of War in Women in Love -- 5. 'To turn one's back on the cog-wheel world': Transport, Otherness and Revolution in The Plumed Serpent -- 6. 'A vast and ghastly intricacy of mechanism': Automobility, Disability and the Motor-Car in Lady Chatterley's Lover -- Conclusion: 'Fascinating are the scenes of departures': Etruscan Ships of Death and Lawrencian Endings -- Bibliography -- Index.

This book discusses D. H. Lawrence's interest in, and engagement with, transport as a literal and metaphorical focal point for his ontological concerns. Focusing on five key novels, this book explores issues of mobility, modernity and gender. First exploring how mechanized transportation reflects industry and patriarchy in Sons and Lovers, the book then considers issues of female mobility in The Rainbow, the signifying of war transport in Women in Love, revolution and the meeting of primitive and modern in The Plumed Serpent, and the reflection of dystopian post-war concerns in Lady Chatterley's Lover. Appealing to Lawrence, modernist, and mobilities researchers, this book is also of interest to readers interested in early twentieth century society, the First World War and transport history.
