Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was once an English novelist and playwright best known for his novels Anna of the Five Towns and Clayhanger. He was once born in Hanley, Staffordshire, and educated at Newcastle-under-Lyme High School. After working as a solicitor and journalist, Bennett began writing fiction and achieved success with his first novel, A Man from the North, in 1898. All through his career, Bennett wrote more than 50 books, including novels, short stories, plays, and non-fiction works. He wrote both recent and historical novels, and had a particular interest in the lives of the English working class. Bennett was once also a prolific playwright and wrote plays for the West End and Broadway. Bennett’s works were incessantly praised for their realism and insight into on a regular basis life. His novel The Old Wives’ Tale was once deemed a classic and was once even adapted into a television series in the 1980s. Along with his novels, Bennett wrote many essays and articles on topics such as politics, art and literature. Bennett’s writing style was once known for its use of colloquial language, and he was once a pioneer of the “regional novel” genre. His work has since been celebrated by modern writers, such as Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence. In 1931, Bennett died of bronchitis at the age of 64. He is remembered today as one of the influential British novelists of the early 20th century.
