Naked Liberty and the World of Desire

In this new and original study, the author explores the long-neglected link between D.H. Lawrence and philosophical anarchism. Focusing on the writings of some of the major anarchists - with particular emphasis on Stirner, Godwin, Bakunin and Thoreau - this book convincingly argues that the conceptual parallels between Lawrence and anarchism are strong and extensive and that reading Lawrence within the context of this tradition significantly enhances our understanding of his work as a whole.
