She demonstrates his use of typological precursors of Christ, such as Adam and David, Moses and Aaron, and his development of a coherent cosmology centered on the cross and the Tree of Life. These features often take on radically revisionist meanings when informed by Lawrence's interests in theosophy and occult lore. Hyde fully recognized Lawrence's intensely dynamic style and examines the ways in which he works creatively with his models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHyde sheds new light on Lawrence's \"leadership\" views, linking them to patriarchal assumptions inherent in biblical typology. She utilizes manuscripts and sketches as well as his traditional works to show that a complex form of biblical symbolism affects both his form and content in unexpected ways. His symbols are often traceable to iconographic models with typological significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Risen Adam\u003c\/i\u003e includes pioneering treatments of the first \u003ci\u003eQuetzalcoatl\u003c\/i\u003e, the 1923 version of \u003ci\u003eThe Plumed Serpent\u003c\/i\u003e, so different in part from the final novel as to form a separate creative effort.
