| Publisher Description: The Rainbow by D. H. Lawrence, follows three generations of the Brangwen family living in Nottinghamshire, focusing on the individual's struggle to growth and fulfilment within the confining strictures of English social life. The Brangwen family, a farm labouring dynasty live in the East Midlands of England near Nottingham Spanning a period of roughly 65 years from the 1840s to 1905, we see how the love relationships of the Brangwens change against the backdrop of the increasing industrialisation of Britain. The first central character, Tom Brangwen, is a farmer whose experience of the world does not stretch beyond Nottinghamshire; while the last, Ursula, his granddaughter, studies at University and becomes a teacher in the progressively urbanised, capitalist and industrial world that would become our modern experience. |
