D.H. Lawrence consacra sa dernière oeuvre à un vaste commentaire de l'Apocalypse. Son livre visionnaire présente une critique radicale du christianisme et de la civilisation occidentale.
Pour Gilles Deleuze, qui souligne l'actualité politique étonnante de ce grand texte littéraire, il y a "beaucoup de ressemblance entre la Nouvelle Jérusalem et l'avenir qu'on nous promet, pas seulement dans la science-fiction, plutôt dans la planification militaire-industrielle de l'État mondial absolu". En effet, la modernité de l'Apocalypse est moins dans les catastrophes annoncées que dans "l'instauration démente d'un pouvoir ultime, judiciaire et moral."
Ce testament spirituel de Lawrence constitue pourtant un appel joyeux au réveil de cet esprit païen qui nous incite à demeurer intensément vivants.
Written during the winter of 1929-30 and his last major work, Apocalypse is Lawrence's radical criticism of the political, religious and social structures that have shaped Western civilization. In his view the perpetual conflict within man, in which emotion, instinct and the senses vie with the intellect and reason, has resulted in society's increasing alienation from the natural world. Yet Lawrence's belief in humanity's power to regain the imaginative and spiritual values which alone can revitalize our world also makes Apocalypse a powerful statement of hope. Presenting his thoughts on psychology, science, politics, art, God and man, and including a fierce protest against Christianity, Apocalypse is Lawrence's last testament, his final attempt to convey his vision of man and of the cosmos.
