The Rainbow
The Rainbow
Lawrence’s most complex and substantial novel renews the Victorian family saga in a modern setting as he traces the history of the Brangwens through several generations. But The Rainbow goes far beyond its nineteenth-century models. The book’s sensuous immediacy and frankness, especially in its revolutionary treatment of women, remain as vivid today as on its first appearance in 1915, when it was prosecuted for obscenity and banned.
