Synopsis
Lawrence, D.H. The Rainbow. With an Introduction by Richard Aldington. New York, The Viking Press, 1961. 12.5 x 19.5cm. (11), 495 pages. Original softcover. Good condition with some signs of external wear, including sunned spine and discolouration to jacket. Text annotations throughout. From the library of swiss - american - irish poet Chuck Kruger. [Compass Books, No. C77]. With its frank portrayal of human passion and sexual desire, D.H. Lawrence's The Rainbow was banned as 'obscene' in Britain shortly after first publication. Set in the rural Midlands, The Rainbow chronicles the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family over a period of more than 60 years, setting them against the emergence of modern England. 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, Anne's spirited daughter, who in her search for self-knowedge, becomes the focus of Lawrence's examination of relationships and the conflicts they bring, and the inextricable mingling of the physical and the spiritual. Suffused with Biblical imagery, The Rainbow addresses searching human issues in a setting of precise and vivid detail. [Penguin Books]

The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation. E. M. Forster
He was a language, a setting, a world entirely of his own. He was, like all true poetry, against tepid living and tepid loves [giving] full expression to the gestures of passion. Anais Nin"

Book Description
Professor Mark Kinkead-Weekes gives the composition history and collates the surviving states of the text to assess the damage done to Lawrence's novel, and to provide a text as close to that which the author wrote as is now possible.
