The Rainbow Paperback / softback
by D. H. Lawrence
Edited by Mark Kinkead-Weekes
Part of the The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D. H. Lawrence series
Paperback / softback
Description
D. H. Lawrence expected The Rainbow to have 'a bit of a fight' before it was accepted, but 'The fight will have to be made, that is all'.
It was suppressed, just over a month after publication, in November 1915.
The American publisher would make thirteen further cuts and 'dribble out' the book quietly.
In 1930 the British government would again consider suppressing a new printing of The Rainbow.
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.
The final manuscript, revisions in the typescript and the first edition are recorded in full in the textual apparatus so the reader can follow the novel's development and evaluate what outside interference may have done to it.
Also included are explanatory notes to historical references and allusions, and an interior chronology of the book itself.
