A renowned literary figure, D. H. Lawrence pushed the boundaries of early twentieth century literature with his frank discussion of sexuality and women's physical desire.
Set against the backdrop of England's industrial revolution, The Rainbow examines shifting social roles in pre-First World War England through the experiences of three generations of Brangwen women—Anna, Ursula, and Gudrun—who each deal with their own challenges: forbidden sexual desire, unfulfilling marriages and the impossibility of physical love. Ursula and Gundrun Brangwen's stories continue in Women in Love, as they meet and develop relationships with Gerald Crich and Rupert Birkin.
