PEREIRA, Armando. D. H. Lawrence: México, the Impossible Utopia. Lit. mex [online]. 2013, vol.24, n.1, pp.65-90. ISSN 2448-8216.
D. H. Lawrence found in Mexico the country where he could realize one of the more important desires in his life: to buy a ranch and build there a sort of commune, where he, his wife and his closest friends could live in a creative way and free of the oppressive rationality, anxiety of technique and obsession of progress that had swallowed Europe up. That project he could only realize not in life, but in a novel: The Plumed Serpent. In this essay I try to analyze this novel and another short stories book, in which Lawrence expose his variegated, contradictory and disillusioned points of view about Mexico and its people.
