Visiting Eastwood-Some Memorandums for Lawrence Studies

I had several opportunities of visiting the Eastwood district，D.H. Lawrence\u27s birthplace，during my stay in England in 1992-93. As is weII known，Lawrence frequently used the Nottingham area as the setting of his novels. To have knowledge about the writer\u27s backgrounds will be of much help in understanding his fiction and sometimes be critically important. Lawrence was so much affected by both social backgrounds and natural surroundings in his formative years that visiting Eastwood would be essential to Lawrence study. Of course，from the viewpoint of literary criticism，it must be kept in mind that there is little meaning in comparison between fact and fiction. This paper consists of collected materials and quotations from various literary writings and letters. Therefore at present moment this remains to be used as some memorandums for furtherstudies
