When Tom Brangwen marries a Polish widow,Lydia Lensky, and adopts her daughter Anna as his own, he is unprepared for the conflict and passion that erupts between them. All are seeking individual fulfilment, but it is Ursula, Anna's spirited daughter, who, in search for self-knowledge, rejects the conventional role of womanhood.

Oh Lord, this book. Let me start with the good stuff. The writing is amazing, I'll give it that. I love the flowery language and the metaphors. I even understand that this is some groundbreaking feminist idea in old world Europe. I understand all that.I detest this book. I loathe this story. I gnashed my teeth on every page and every scene with these monstrous characters. I read this entire damned story and hated it the whole way. The language and ideas could not keep me from hating every



I first read D.H. Lawrences The Rainbow in Professor Peter Oppewals British and American Novels class when I was 19, and it was one of the books that led me to become an English major. It was a perfect book for someone my age, susceptible to both lush romanticism and some harsh social criticism. As I saw it, it focused on the young individual, longing to be free, versus the constraining, soul-killing society. "Self was a oneness with infinity"--UrsulaAnd especially for me, it even featured a

This is a three-generation family saga, set in Nottinghamshire, starting in Victorian times and ending before fears of WW1 loomed. Except that it isnt that: the brief Introduction summarises all the key characters, careers, couplings, births and deaths. Events are mere tools and waypoints, not the purpose or destination, because this is not primarily a story: its an experience of passions, clothed in elliptically floral, fiery, watery imagery, stained deep with Biblical themes. But these are not

If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review.Working-Class Fiction: "The Rainbow" by D. H. Lawrence(Original Review, 2002-06-08)Lawrence is "uneven," but of the four novels I've read by him, "The Rainbow" is the best. I read "Sons and Lovers" at the British Council. I loved it at 15, but loved it far less 2 years later. I liked "Lady Chatterley's Lover" more than I thought I would, but that maybe because of all the scorn I'd heard poured on it before I read the book. I read "The

Lawrence is a tough read. One chews through the pages of his books - sometimes with vigour and often with bafflement. While he is hard to read, he is even harder to write about. Yet, despite the thick language and often threadbare plot, there is a sense of exhilaration in The Rainbow. Underneath all of the claustrophobic intensity are strands of genius and genuine food for thought.The language of The Rainbow is at once alien and alluring. To fully appreciate Lawrence I really think a reader must

D. H. Lawrence bores me to tears. It's unfair, I know. He suffered a lot for his art. He contributed greatly to modern literature. He dabbled in taboos, such as women liking sex and not necessarily marriage. He wrote about same sex relationships. But he's just so darned redundant that I always want to hurl the book across the room before I fall into another Lawrence-induced-sleep-stupor. (Someone really needed to give the man a thesaurus. Honestly, I never want to see the word "fecund" again in
