With an Introduction by Richard Aldington. Lawrence's frank representation of sexuality in 'The Rainbow' caused a furor and the novel was seized by the police and banned almost as soon as it was published in 1915. Today it is recognised as one of the classic English novels of the twentieth century. 'The Rainbow' is about three generations of the Brangwen family of Nottinghamshire from the 1840s to the early years of the twentieth century. Within this framework Lawrence's essential concern is with the passional lives of his characters as he explores the pressures that determine their lives, using a religious symbolism in which the rainbow of the title is his unifying motif. His primary focus is on the individual's struggle to growth and fulfillment within marriage and changing social circumstances. This is a process shown to grow more difficult through the generations.
