The Rainbow is a novel written by D.H. Lawrence in 1915. It follows three generations of the Brangwen family, focusing in particular on sexuality and the relationships between the characters.
Lawrence's open approach to sexuality and games within relationships as natural and spiritual drivers of life led to legal proceedings against the novel on charges of obscenity in 1915, as a result of which all copies were confiscated and burned. The novel could not be obtained in Britain for the next 11 years, although copies were available in the US.
