Through chapters dissecting various forms of writing-from journalism to playwriting, from short stories to novels-the magnitude of Bennett's comprehension of the written word is evident. This work is as much a map for navigating the business peculiarities of the literary world as it is a compass for the cultivation of personal artistic eloquence, embellished by an invaluable compilation of English literary works that Bennett asserts every well-rounded writer must engage with. Arnold Bennett, a stalwart of English letters, draws from his bountiful experience as a novelist, playwright, and critic to craft this comprehensive manual.

Autorenporträt

Arnold Bennett (1867-1931), born Enoch Arnold Bennett, was a significant yet sometimes overlooked figure in the early 20th-century British literary scene. Bennett achieved acclaim through his prolific career as a novelist, playwright, and critic. His merits as an author were anchored in his unique blend of realism and detailed dissection of the everyday lives of people, particularly those hailing from the Five Towns of the Staffordshire Potteries, an area he immortalized through his works. Bennett's legacy extends beyond his fiction to contributions to journalism and practical advice on the literary craft, notably in 'How to Become a Writer' - a guide aspiring to aid writers in honing their skills in the face of emerging modernist trends. While Bennett's narrative style is at times criticized for its excessive focus on Edwardian-era realism, which contrasted sharply with the innovations brought forth by his contemporaries like Virginia Woolf, his novels such as 'The Old Wives' Tale' and 'Anna of the Five Towns' prevail as testaments to his narrative prowess and remain staples in the study of early modern British literature. Bennett's career is characterized by a commitment to exploring the fabric of the mundane and his influence persists through his insights into the craft of writing, offering a significant reflection on the literature of his time.
