D. H. Lawrence was a well-known and at times quite controversial English novelist, poet and playwright, who published many empathetic works on the themes of emotional health, human instinct and spontaneity, and the negative effects of modernization on the natural expression of the human soul.Lawrence was,in every sense of the word, a rebel of his time, and like his main heroine in this story, he was widely criticized during his life due to his rebellious, often leading edge ideas that have pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in modern day literature. Censored and persecuted by most, and admired by only some of the people in his time, the author of The Rainbow and Women in Love was a true visionary, recognized today for the remarkable value he imparted through this book.The Rainbow follows the relations and sexual dynamics of three generations of women within one family. Although presented only as a shorter introduction to the later part of the book, the stories of how widow Lydia Lanski meets and marries a farm youth by the name of Brangwen and how her own daughter Anna grows up and marries a cousin by the name of Tom Brangwen are quite intriguing and exciting, both from a psychological and romantic point of view.The longest part of the book, however, follows the development,coming of age, life and love interests of Ursula, the rebellious and highly opinionated daughter of Tom and Anna.What’s most interesting about the intrigues and lessons revolving around Ursula’s life is that her own personality relates very much to that of the author himself. Her love and sexual life is further presented in the sequel Women in Love, an equally controversial and interesting work written by D. H. Lawrence.

The Rainbow is a novel by British author D. H. Lawrence, first published in 1915. It follows three generations of the Brangwen family living in Nottinghamshire, particularly focusing on the individual's struggle to growth and fulfilment within the confining strictures of English social life. Lawrence's 1920 novel Women in Love is a sequel to The Rainbow.

David Herbert Richards Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works, among other things, represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct. Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile which he called his "savage pilgrimage". At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as, "The greatest imaginative novelist of our generation”. (Excerpt from Wikipedia)
