內容簡介
The Rainbow is considered to be one of D. H. Lawrence's finest works. Covering the pre-World War I period from about 1840 to 1905, the novel explores the relationships between three generations in the Brangwen family, describing in the process the emergence of English society from the Victorian period and its entrance into the modern period. Lawrence shows how characters are determined in part by the time and place in which they live, and he also dramatizes how they struggle to reconcile conflicting feelings and impulses. The Rainbow was followed by a sequel, Women in Love, in 1920. David Herbert Richards Lawrence was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist and literary critic. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct. One of D.H. Lawrence's finest and most controversial works, The Rainbow introduced sexual life into the family-chronicle novel, portraying a visionary quest for love by three generations of English men and women.

精彩書評
"Lawrence is the most Dostoevskian of English novelists, in whose best work conflicting ideological positions are brought into play and set up against each other in dialogue that is never simply or finally resolved."
-- David Lodge
"No writer since Lawrence has been so openly governed by what seems like powerful personal likes and dislikes, grievances, and by what appear to many as untenable prejudices."
-- Amit Chauduri
"What astonished me reading it this time round is the iconoclastic modernity of the novel... the sense of daring experiment. I had entirely forgotten what drastic steps Lawrence was taking with character, for instance. Or with narrative (the novel proceeds cyclically). When this is combined with sexual overtness and a revolutionary call for the individual to achieve "Me-ness" in opposition to the nation, industry and war, we have a book that, appearing as it did in 1915, seemed genuinely disturbing"
-- Adam Thorpe Guardian

勞倫斯的文學作品的主題是多樣的,且互相關聯。他早就宣稱:血和肉比纔智更高明。同時,他還自稱對“心智”持懷疑態度。他憎恨産業主義。在《兒子和情人》、《戀愛中的女人》和《查泰萊夫人的情人》這幾部長篇小說中,他把煤礦業用來做為礦工們和礦場主們喪失人性本能的原因與象徵。

貫穿在他一切作品中的一條綫是階級意識。其特點是:一個下層階級的男人和一個上層階級的女人的結閤。上層階級的男人通常是萎靡不振,缺乏人性本能力量的。在勞倫斯的筆下,階級差異在《兒子和情人》、《虹》、《羽蛇》以及《查泰萊夫人的情人》等長篇小說中顯露齣戲劇性的、強有力的效果。筆觸所及,在《大草垛中的愛情》中更增強瞭光明與黑暗的對比度。
