Download or read book Tales of the Five Towns and Other Stories written by Arnold Bennett and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-13 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1902, Anna of the Five Towns, the first of a succession of stories written by Arnold Bennett and which detailed life in the Potteries, appeared. His books draw on his experience of life in the Potteries, as did most of his best work. In his novels the Potteries are referred to as "the Five Towns"; Bennett felt that the name was more euphonious than "the Six Towns" so Fenton was omitted. Several of his books set in the Potteries have been made into films. Critically, Bennett has not always had an easy ride. His output was prodigious and, by his own admission, based on maximizing his income rather than from creative necessity. As Bennett put it: "Am I to sit still and see other fellows pocketing two guineas apiece for stories which I can do better myself? Not me. If anyone imagines my sole aim is art for art's sake, they are cruelly deceived." Contemporary critics-Virginia Woolf in particular-perceived weaknesses in his work, and for much of the 20th Century, Bennett's work was tainted by this perception; it was not until the 1990s that a more positive view of his work became widely accepted. This edition includes: Tales of the Five Towns - (short story collection 1905) The Grim Smile of the Five Towns - (short stories 1907) The Matador of the Five Towns - (short stories 1912)
