The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence7/7/2023 By 1914, “The Sisters” had been renamed the “The Wedding Ring” and in September of 1915 it was published in its final version as The Rainbow. While living in Italy in 1913, Lawrence began work on a piece titled “The Sisters” which would form the basis of his two subsequent novels, The Rainbow (1915) and Women in Love (1920). Lawrence was a remarkably prolific writer, publishing three novels between 19. In 1908, Lawrence relocated to London where his first poems were published. A talented student, Lawrence won a scholarship to attend a nearby high school and later trained as a teacher at Nottingham College. Lawrence was born in 1885 to a poor family in the mining village of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire. In moving and vivid descriptions of the natural world surrounding the Brangwen’s Marsh Farms, Lawrence demonstrates precisely why The Rainbow is still so highly regarded over a century after its publication. Yet in equal measure, Lawrence presents characters with serious depth and relatable aspirations as he masterfully tackles complex subject matter like love, devotion, and belonging. At times, the intergenerational saga of the Brangwen family may seem tedious and over-stuffed with characters, many of whom share the same names. The Rainbow is a novel as difficult as it is rewarding.
