随着文明的进程,人的整个生活方式、思想观念也在发生一系列变化。进入20世纪之后,西方社会发生了深刻的变化,机器文明的发展,科学技术水平的日益提高,使现代人为自己创造的奇迹感到自豪的同时也为自己所面临的各种危机而深感忧虑。总而言之,工业文明在最大限度的满足了现代人的物质欲望的同时,也导致现代人产生了精神信仰失落的问题。作为20世纪初争议颇多的作家D.H.劳伦斯,他是英国文学史上最具影响力的作家之一。在他短暂的一生中,劳伦斯创作了包括小说、戏剧、诗歌、散文、游记在内的近50部作品,然而他的声誉主要建立在小说上。劳伦斯在小说中不仅揭露了工业文明造成的自然生态危机,同时也指出人类精神层次上的生态危机才是更深层次的生态危机。在他的很多作品中一再唱响工业文明对人性扭曲的主题,在20世纪初工业文明的荒原上奋力的播种这着生命的火种。 With the progress of civilization, a series of changes have taken place in the entire life style and ideas of people. Since the 20th century, profound changes have taken place in the western society. With the development of the machine civilization and the ever-increasing level of science and technology, the modern people are proud of the miracle they have created and are deeply worried about the crises they face. In short, industrial civilization, while satisfying the material desires of modern people to the maximum, has also led to the modern people’s problem of the loss of spiritual belief. As a controversial writer at the beginning of the 20th century, D.H. Lawrence, he was one of the most influential writers in British literary history. In his short life, Lawrence wrote nearly 50 works including novels, dramas, poems, essays and travels, but his reputation is mainly based on novels. In his novels, Lawrence not only exposed the natural ecological crisis caused by industrial civilization, but also pointed out that the ecological crisis at the level of human beings is a deeper ecological crisis. In many of his works he repeatedly sang the theme of distortion of human nature in industrial civilization and sowed the seeds of life in the wilderness of industrial civilization in the early 20th century.
