Rreth autorit
Enoch Arnold Bennett, born on May 27, 1867, in Hanley, Staffordshire, and known professionally as Arnold Bennett, was a prominent English novelist, playwright, critic, and essayist, recognized for his evocative portrayals of life in the Potteries, an area in North Staffordshire that became the primary setting for much of his fiction. Bennett's early career blossomed in journalism, yet he found his true calling in the literary world, becoming a prolific author acclaimed for his vivid character development and his lucid, unpretentious style. His works often explored the constraints of Victorian and early-Edwardian provincial life, delving into the ambitions, drive, and often the narrow-mindedness of the English middle class. 'The Roll-Call' (1918) is one of his later works, part of the 'Clayhanger' series, where Bennett examines the complexities of change and progress in the dynamic pre-war England. Representing a bridge between the Victorian and modernist literary epochs, Bennett's writings, including 'The Old Wives' Tale' (1908) and 'Riceyman Steps' (1923), which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, form a significant part of the canon of twentieth-century British literature. Despite his achievements, Bennett's work dipped in popularity, later to be revived as scholars and readers rediscovered his adept narratives and astute social commentary. He died of typhoid in London on March 27, 1931, leaving a legacy that continues to be studied and enjoyed to this day.
