内容简介
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.

精彩书评
"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

劳伦斯的世界旅行和他对产业主义的强烈憎恨使早期的文化对他更具有吸引力。在《圣·摩尔》和《羽蛇》中,他从新墨西哥州和墨西哥的印第安人身上看见了他们那晦暗、神秘的知识较之欧洲人那有教养的头脑更接近生命的本源和实质。他热衷于以神秘主义来深化的他的作品主题,这一点也以其它的方式表示出来。“兄弟手足情”——这是较之一般朋友之情更深的、两个男子之间的契合,但不是同性恋——始终吸引着他的构思,而特别在《恋爱中的女人》和《羽蛇》中显示出来。在《大草垛中的爱情》中,两个亲兄弟间缺乏“兄弟手足情”是导致冲突的原因之一,而这一冲突的解决又有赖于劳伦斯所设计的一场主题性战斗的圆满结局。这是一场男人们和女人们之间的充满爱与恨的争夺战。另一个矛盾的主题是劳伦斯的“领袖梦”的体现:一个男人必将居于主宰支配地位,而另一方则将以*的身份向他俯首听命。《亚伦的神杖》(1992)和《袋鼠》的主题特点正是如此。《羽蛇》(1926)中则掺和着“兄弟手足情”的侧写。劳伦斯的某些写作技巧有助于表现他的主题思想;而另一些手法则体现出他的气质和敏锐感觉。往往一个故事围绕着两对男女进行,像《大草垛中的爱情》就是这样。在写作上,劳伦斯依靠灵感。灵感来时,他极度兴奋地写作,创造力源源涌至;缺乏灵感时,他干脆搁笔。他从不写笔记,而专靠记忆。在他开始动笔,并出现“精神亢奋之一刹”时,往事总是栩栩如生地展现在他面前。《大草垛里的爱情》的背景情节正是基于这种活灵活现的回忆:如对“赫格斯”农庄情景的追忆。这是他和杰茜·钱伯斯相识和相爱的地方。他对“写小说的技艺”或“作诗的技艺”并不太讲究,因而他写的长篇小说,诗歌和故事,在形式上总是松散的,但由于他所表达的生活经验异常强烈,依然收到紧凑连贯之效。

贯穿在他一切作品中的一条线是阶级意识。其特点是:一个下层阶级的男人和一个上层阶级的女人的结合。上层阶级的男人通常是萎靡不振,缺乏人性本能力量的。在劳伦斯的笔下,阶级差异在《儿子和情人》、《虹》、《羽蛇》以及《查泰莱夫人的情人》等长篇小说中显露出戏剧性的、强有力的效果。笔触所及,在《大草垛中的爱情》中更增强了光明与黑暗的对比度。
