The RainbowArticle Free Pass The Rainbow, novel by D.H.
Lawrence, published in 1915. The novel was officially banned
after it was labeled obscene, and unsold copies were
confiscated. The story line traces three generations of the
Brangwen family in the Midlands of England from 1840 to 1905.
The marriage of farmer Tom Brangwen and foreigner Lydia Lensky
eventually breaks down. Likewise, the marriage of Lydia’s
daughter Anna to Tom’s nephew Will gradually fails. The novel is
largely devoted to Will and Anna’s oldest child, the
schoolteacher Ursula, who stops short of marriage when she is
unsatisfied by her love affair with the conventional soldier
Anton Skrebensky. The appearance of a rainbow at the end of the
novel is a sign of hope for Ursula, whose story is continued in
Lawrence’s Women in Love. What made you want to look up "The
