Set in the rural Midlands of England, The Rainbow revolves around three generations of the Brangwens, a string vigorous family, deeply involved with the land. When Tom Brangwen marries a Polish widow, Lydia Lensky, and adopts her daughter Anna as his own, he is unprepared for the conflict and passion that erupts between them. All are seeking individual fulfilment but it is Ursula, Anna's spirited daughter, who, in her search for self-knowledge, rejects the conventional role of womanhood.This Penguin edition reproduces the Cambridge text which, after the many alterations The Rainbow underwent before its first publication in 1915, provides a text as close as possible to Lawrence's original.
