What is the author's style in The Rainbow by D. H. Lawrence?

While the story takes place in Derbyshire, which has a distinct accent, there is little of the Derbyshire accent in the novel. Because of the period the book was written in, there is some archaic language used, particularly when discussing religious matters. For the most part, a reader can figure out these terms from the context. Much of the religious discussion is of well-known topics and does not make many references to specific people or acts in religious history. Similarly, the particular vocabulary for the traditional English education system described in the novel might be significantly different from modern educational experience. In this case, the readers might need to reorient themselves to this different education system.
