Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Rainbow" by D. H. Lawrence is a novel published in 1915. It follows three generations of the Brangwen family in Nottinghamshire as they navigate love, desire, and personal fulfillment against the backdrop of England's industrial transformation. From farmer Tom Brangwen in the 1840s to his granddaughter Ursula in 1905, each generation struggles between passionate inner life and society's confining structures. Lawrence's frank treatment of sexuality sparked an obscenity trial, resulting in copies being seized and burned, banning the book in Britain for eleven years.
