The Rainbow and Women in Love

D H Lawrence

The Rainbow by D. H. Lawrence follows three generations of the Brangwen family focusing on the sexual dynamics of and relations between the characters. Lawrence's frank treatment of sexual desire and the power plays within relationships as a natural and even spiritual force of life caused The Rainbow to be prosecuted in an obscenity trial in late 1915 as a result of which all copies were seized and burnt. After this ban it was unavailable in Britain for 11 years.Women in Love is a sequel to The Rainbow. Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen are two sisters living in the Midlands of England in the 1910s.
