The Rainbow

"The story of awakening sexuality Having lived at Marsh Farm for many years, the Brangwen family are self-sufficient - a stable element in their community. Charting their history over three generations, the story moves in on the life of Ursula Brangwen. Ursula's passions - for her schoolmistress, Winifred, and for Anton, the son of a Polish ?migr? - engender bitter conflicts as developing aspirations are confronted with the moralities of a rapidly changing world. Man's progress from childhood to maturity is set against the forces of an increasingly urbanised society - but in the vision of the rainbow a promise of hope is kept alive. The most comprehensive paperback edition available, with introduction, notes, text summary, selected criticism, and chronology of Lawrence's life and times"
