Samenvatting:

The Plumed Serpent is a 1926 novel by D. H. Lawrence. Set in Mexico during the Mexican Revolution, it was begun when the author was living at what is now the D. H. Lawrence Ranch near Taos in the U.S. state of New Mexico in 1924, accompanied by his wife Frieda and artist Dorothy Brett.
Commentators have seen the book as having fascist overtones, and as expressing Lawrence's fears about the decline of the white race and belief in women's submission to men. It has also been interpreted as an expression of Lawrence's personal political ambition.
