The Rainbow


This 1915 novel covers the journey of three generations of an English family of farmers and craftsmen. Set in the second half of the nineteenth century against the rapidly industrializing Britain, the story brings out the complexities that the family undergoes as the social milieu of the country evolves with increasing urbanization. The novel seamlessly bridges the, sometimes tumultous, transition of the family from being farm-bound to becoming university educated and urbane.
