Arnold Bennett
Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was born in Hanley, Staffordshire. After a secondary school education, he wroked first for his father, a self-taught solicitor, and then moved to London as a shorthand clerk with a firm of solicitors. He began to write to make extra money and his first novel,
A Man From the North, appeared in 1898. In 1900 he finished
The Grand Babylon Hotel, published in 1902, and began
Anna of the Five Towns (1902), in which he first started to use the Potteries of his boyhood as a setting for his novels.
The Old Wives' Tale (1908) was written in France and it was followed by the Clayhanger trilogy:
Clayhanger (1910),
Hilda Lessways (1911) and
These Twain (1916). His works also include several plays, two volumes of short stories and several other novels.
The mind can only be conquered by regular meditation, by deciding beforehand what direction its activity ought to take, and insisting that its activity takes that direction; also by never leaving it idle, undirected, masterless, to play at random like a child in the streets after dark. This is extremely difficult, but it can be done, and it is marvellously well worth doing. The fault of the epoch is the absence of meditativeness. A sagacious man will strive to correct in himself the faults of his epoch. In some deep ways the twelfth century had advantages over the twentieth. It practised meditation. The twentieth does Sandow exercises. Meditation (I speak only for myself) is the least dispensable of the day's doings. What do I force my mind to meditate upon? Upon various things, but chiefly upon one.
