This paper, conceived as a re-reading of one of Lawrence's 'minor'
works, discusses some of the current evaluations ofSt. Mawr, and takes F.R.
Leavis's favourable judgement as a starting point in order to expand the
analysis through a closer examination of the structure of the novella. Images
and symbols, particularly those connected with animals, show that
Lawrence's work is a highly patterned product, in which cohesion is
attained through the use of two basic types of images that guide and control
the development of the whole narrative.
