Product Description

 
D. H. Lawrence's THE RAINBOW, declared obscene when it was published in 1915, is the passionately written chronicle of three generations of a Nottingham farming family. Tom Brangwen marries a widow named Lydia Lensky; Lydia's daughter Anna marries her cousin Will, a woodcarver, and has a large family. Their daughter, Ursula, leaves their simple rural world and becomes a schoolteacher--much as Lawrence himself did. She falls in love with Anton Skrebensky and, when he is called away to war, responds to an ardent fellow teacher, a feminist and epitome of the "new woman" named Winifred. The struggles of Ursula and her sister Gudrun to find their way in a changing world are continued in Lawrence's WOMEN IN LOVE.

Review: D.H. Lawrence s The Rainbow has been surrounded with shocked scintillation and hyped up hubbub since its banned status in the early 1900s. Rumored as being chocked full of forbidden pleasures, X-rated scenarios, and bubbling brews of nearly bursting...

Review: Anyone who has read this book will identify with the title of this review. Many times, a character in "The Rainbow" would say how they could not stand the characteristics of another, yet they wanted to marry, to get to know better, or to be friends...
