D.H. Lawrence

Why was D.H. Lawrence preoccupied with the enigma of the human as thinking matter? This first sustained study of Lawrence and science shows how posthuman conceptions of a material kinship between humans, animals and machines can transform our understanding of Lawrences work and of its complex relationship with scientific epistemologies. Through detailed readings of evolutionary philosophy, and of the new Bergsonism of Deleuze and others, Wallace provides a radical reappraisal of Lawrence in terms of an antihumanist (or posthumanist) humanism (Hardt and Negri).
