Autoren-Profil
Enoch Arnold Bennett, an illustrious English writer, was born on May 27, 1867, in Hanley, Staffordshire, which is one part of the Potteries that would become the backdrop for much of his literary work. Bennett's early career oscillated between writing and journalism, but the publication of his first novel, 'A Man from the North' in 1898, paved the way for a prolific output that effectively captured the intricacies of Victorian and Edwardian provincial life. His ambitious 'Five Towns' novels, including masterpieces like 'Anna of the Five Towns' (1902), and 'The Old Wives' Tale' (1908), spotlighted his deft storytelling and insightful social commentary, earning him significant acclaim. 'The Old Wives' Tale' consistently remains celebrated for its detailed observation and narrative style, broadening Bennett's appeal beyond the UK. He was also known for works such as 'Clayhanger' (1910) and 'The Card' (1911), which added to the series further embroidering the social fabric of the Five Towns region. Beyond fiction, Bennett's non-literary works like 'How to Live on 24 Hours a Day' (1908) showcase his breadth of influence in the self-help genre. Despite facing criticism from contemporaries like Virginia Woolf for his allegedly materialistic approach to character and society, Bennett's contribution to the naturalist genre cannot be understated. He continued writing until his death on March 27, 1931, leaving behind a substantial oeuvre that continues to be studied and enjoyed. His legacy is preserved in the Arnold Bennett Society, which celebrates his work and life.
