D. H. Lawrence is apt to be misunderstood. Among all sorts of calumniations, what most maliciously framed is to have reckoned him to be an autocrat or a dictator like Hitler before and during the Second World War. It is deemed that this might have been caused, because he tried to maintain his dignity to be a writer by nature ; that is, to be natural as a writere for him was the foremost principle for him. So that he did not take any heed of criticism toward him, but pursued his own sensibility. Accordingly, he was a born traveler and adventurer who found the spirit of place that his sensibility had chosen. He thought, 'A book lives as long as it is unfathomed' and he lived a life which was immeasurable. Lawrence did not utilize any kind of technique that twentieth century writers such as Proust or Joyce did. He used only his sensibility so that nature made him know how he developed his new way of life. From these points of view, I scrutinized how Lawrence was thought to be a Primitivist in this thesis.
