About the Author Enoch Arnold Bennett, the son of a solicitor, was born in Hanley, Staffordshire in 1867. He was educated locally and at London University, before working initially as a solicitor's clerk, but soon turned to writing popular serial fiction and editing a women's magazine. After the publication of his first novel, 'A Man from the North' in 1898 he became a professional writer and some of his best and most enduring and acclaimed work, including 'Anna of the Five Towns', 'The Old Wives' Tale', 'Clayhanger', 'The Card' and 'Hilda Lessways' followed over the next twelve years. Soon after the outbreak of the First World War, Bennett was invited to join the War Propaganda Bureau, concerned with finding ways of best promoting Britain's interests. He was in good company, as others who contributed to this effort included Conan Doyle, John Masefield, G. K. Chesterton, Sir Henry Newbolt, John Galsworthy, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Gilbert Parker, G. M. Trevelyan and H. G. Wells. Bernard Shaw knew nothing of the Bureau, but attacked what he believed to be jingoistic articles and poems being produced by British writers. Bennett was the one chosen to defend their actions. He served on a War Memorial Committee at the invitation of the then Minister of Information, Lord Beaverbrook, and was also appointed director of British propaganda in France. His spells in Paris added to his reputation as a man of cosmopolitan and discerning tastes. After the War he inevitably returned to writing novels and also became a director of the 'New Statesman'. Bennett's great reputation is built upon the success of his novels and short stories set in the Potteries, an area of north Staffordshire that he recreated as the 'Five Towns'. 'Anna of the Five Towns' and 'The Old Wives' Tale' show the influence of Flaubert, Maupassant and Balzac as Bennett describes provincial life in great detail. Arnold Bennett is an important link between the English novel and European realism. He wrote several plays and lighter works such as 'The Grand Babylon Hotel' and 'The Card'. Arnold Bennett died in 1931.

32 of 33 people found the following review helpful. An enjoyable read. By A Customer The story of a man from leaving school to middle age, set in an industrial town in the English midlands at the end of the 19th century. Sounds boring, but it isn't. Slow for the first few chapters, but then I found it unputdownable, you really get interested and want to know what happens. Lots of description of the environment of the time. No sex or violence, written no long after these actual times, so some bits of old fashioned prose. This aside, reminded me of Len Deighton's style of writing. I was a bit doubtful about buying this book, but I'm pleased I did.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Quite Good 'History' of a Man's Growth By divad sorcron Not outstanding, but a very good read. Some oddness in the flow of the story, but: I found the development of Edwin's love towards 'the girl' to be touching and highly entertaining. His lack of self-awareness is truly refreshing. Not an old-fashioned plough-of-a-read, but yet another very good Bennett, on the nature of humans. His writings are a treasure.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Tales of an era By Bobby Mills My high rating for these books does not mean that I recommend them to every avid reader. Those who like the leisurely, sentimental writing style typical of the last half of the 19th century will enjoy them. Their tone is reminiscent of Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy. The stories progress very slowly and end almost back where they started although many years have elapsed.It was an age when a single romantic kiss meant betrothal, when fathers ruled with iron hands, when society was rigidly divided into classes, and women were totally dependent on men for their happiness and wellbeing.This review pertains to all three of the books of the Clayhanger trilogy. They tell the stories of Edwin, Hilda, and Janet from youth to adulthood and how they cope with the ridged mores, economic hardships, and family obligations of their times. A patient reader will get a very good concept of middle class English society and pictures of the upper and lower classes as well.
