The first chapter of Sons and Lovers introduces the Morel family and describes the story's
setting, a neighborhood called "The Bottoms," where the miners live.

Sons and Lovers is set in the town of Bestwood, in Derbyshire County, England, in the late
1800s. This is mining country, and dwellings are built "on the hillside of Bestwood" and in the
valley, known as the Bottoms. As its name implies, the miners' homes in the Bottoms are "quite
unsavory" and "on the downward path."

13. ARISTOTLE POETICS, 1451B1-6: POETRY IS BETTER THAN HISTORY. AND
