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 emigre - 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.
