概要

When D.H.Lawrence and his wife Frieda returned to New Mexico in 1924,the writer's concern and interest lied in the leadership issues and the relationships with women. As for his private life, Dorothy Brett was the only follower from England after J.M.Murry and Knud Merrild moved to Los Angeles. Moreover in Taos Mabel Dodge Luhan, the patroness, interfered in his life. The Woman Who Rode Away, St Mawr and "The princess" written under these circumstances "centred on the problem of the unfulfilled modern women", according to E.W.Tedlock, although Lawrence in the letter addressed to Catherine Carswell seemed to confess his ambivalence split into two different feelings. The heroines of those three works mentioned above experienced the inner travels in the respective novels, which are thought to have to do with those of D.H.Lawrence's while he stayed in New Mexico. In other words the writer seemed to give shape to his inner soul's feminine figures. Comparing The Woman Who Rode Away with "The Princess", I would like to discuss how the heroines' inner travels relate to the writer's ambivalent feelings pictured in their inner travels in the Rockies.
