David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) expected The Rainbow to cause a
stir. In a characteristically open exploration of sensual and
explicit themes, the novel traces more than sixty years of pre-war
life and three generations of the Brangwen family. Employing
language infused with the rich imagery and repetition of biblical
texts to treat all subjects - from the green fields and empty skies
of the Brangwen farm through to Ursula's encounter with a female
schoolteacher - Lawrence took an assuredly striking approach.
However, he was unprepared for the vitriolic attacks of his
reviewers. The novel was branded 'utter filth' and 'a mass of
obscenity'; it was banned only a month after its publication in
1915, unsold copies being confiscated and destroyed. A second,
abridged edition would not appear for another eleven years. Now a
landmark in the early modernist canon, the original and unabridged
text of 1915 is reissued here.

Born within walking distance of ten Nottinghamshire pits, David
Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was painfully aware that his frail
physique and quiet character were ill suited to the mining industry
upon which his community depended. The difficulties of his youth
are manifest in Sons and Lovers, his first major novel and an
insider's portrayal of the culture of the collieries. Writing to a
friend, Lawrence explained the seed of his plot: 'a woman of
character and refinement goes into the lower class, and has no
satisfaction in her own life'. Stemming from this are the intricate
difficulties in the relationships of Paul Morel, the second son of
this unhappy mother, torn between her overpowering influence and
two vastly different women - the quiet, old-fashioned Miriam and
the modern divorcee Clara. Although initially deemed indecent and
rejected for publication, Sons and Lovers appeared for the first
time in 1913.
