D. H. Lawrence expected The Rainbow to have 'a bit of a fight'
before it was accepted, but 'The fight will have to be made, that
is all'. It was suppressed, just over a month after publication, in
November 1915. The American publisher would make thirteen further
cuts and 'dribble out' the book quietly. In 1930 the British
government would again consider suppressing a new printing of The
Rainbow. Professor Mark Kinkead-Weekes gives the composition
history and collates the surviving states of the text to assess the
damage done to Lawrence's novel, and to provide a text as close to
that which the author wrote as is now possible. The final
manuscript, revisions in the typescript and the first edition are
recorded in full in the textual apparatus so the reader can follow
the novel's development and evaluate what outside interference may
have done to it. Also included are explanatory notes to historical
references and allusions, and an interior chronology of the book
itself.
