The Rainbow

The acclaimed English author David Herbert Lawrence is most known for his works' cerebral depth and their imaginative brilliance. The Rainbow is one of his most notable literary achievements. The book explores the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family as they struggle in the rapidly industrialising and materialising economy of late nineteenth-century England. Tom is constrained by the old mentality while later generations advance down modernist paths and become more urbanised. The novel which was once outlawed for examining Ursula's sexual and sensual liberty makes forays into an individual's emotional development and the inner workings of a fragile psyche which makes sense even in the contemporary epoch.
