	Anna of the Five Towns
		One of Arnold Bennett's finest novels, Anna of the Five Towns is at once a brilliantly detailed picture of life in the Potteries, and a tightly knit story of the destructive forces of evangelism and industrial expansion in a small community.
		In 1834 it was described as a large modern town, second in Staffordshire to Wolverhampton.
		In the 18th Century the town was a collection of dwellings around Upper and Lower Green, two small villages half a mile apart.

	Arnold Bennett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was born in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, one of six towns in the area known as the Potteries.
		In 1902 Anna of the Five Towns, the first of a succession of stories which detailed life in the Potteries, appeared.
		In his novel, the Potteries are referred to as "the Five Towns"; Bennett felt that the name was more euphonious than "the Six Towns" so Fenton was forgotten.

	Anna of the Five Towns by Arnold Bennett
		This was Anna Tellwright, the ascetic, the prosaic, the impassive.
		Anna was astounded by the contrast between the Titus of Sunday and the Titus of Monday: a single glance compelled her to readjust all her notions of the man. She stammered a greeting, and he replied, and then they were both silent for a moment: in the pause Mr.
		Anna did not surmise that he was too much moved by the sight of her, and the situation, to continue, but this was the fact.

		Against the vitality and harshness of the Five Towns, Bennett's narrative is a compelling delineation of his heroine's attempts to gain freedom and independence from her father and the repressive regime of Methodism.
		I thought that "Anna of the Five Towns" was every bit as good as Balzac's novel, and was better than either of Bennett's earlier works such as "A Man from the North" and the truly appalling "Grand Babylon Hotel", although it's not quite as accomplished as "Clayhanger", for example.
		The "Five Towns" are the author's fictionalized version of the corresponding cities of the region in England where the famous potteries & glaziers are.

	POLISH - Online Information article about POLISH
		Five religious songs in Polish dating from the 15th century have been preserved; they are ascribed to Andrew Slopuchowski, prior of the monastery of the Holy Cross on Lysa Gbra.
		Among his numerous writings may be mentioned Lives of the Saints, Discourses on the Seven Sacraments, and especially his sermons preached before the diet, in which he lashed the Poles for their want of patriotism and prophesied the downfall of the country.
		The existence of so many ecclesiastical writers was a natural feature in Polish literature; they formed the only really cultured class in the community, which consisted besides of a haughty ignorant nobility living among their serfs, and (at a vast distance) those serfs themselves, in a brutalized condition.

	A biography of Arnold Bennett by Frank Swinnerton
		And so Anna of the Five Toucans, which it had taken him five years to write, was finished in 1901, in time to be published in book form almost simultaneously with The Grand Babylon Hotel.
		Anna of the Five Towns was for long Bennett's most ambitious book; and it seems to me most interesting to contrast the description it contains of industrial Staffordshire with the one by George Moore which I quoted earlier.
		Sophia is the rebel; but it is Constance who has the endurance to make her life in the Five Towns and, at the end of the book, to survive her sister for a little while.

	Arnold Bennett - Son of Stoke-on-Trent
		English novelist, playwright, and essayist, born in Hanley (27th May 1867), Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire (Hanley was the real-life model for one of the "Five Towns" of his novels).
		His enduring fame is as a Chronicler of the Potteries towns, the setting and inspiration of some of his most famous and enduring literary work and the place where he grew up.
		It is perhaps unfortunate that Bennett felt the "The Five Towns" sounded more euphonious then "The Six Towns", and thus relegated the town of Fenton almost to oblivion, but as a chronicler of The Potteries he assured for the district a permanent place in English literature.

		This was well for Anna, in that it diverted her thoughts by keeping her energies fully engaged.
		Anna went straight across the road to her father, and asked him for a hundred pounds of her own money.
		At nights, when she had leisure to think, Anna was astonished how during the day she had forgotten her preoccupations in the activities precedent to the bazaar, or in choosing furniture with Mynors.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Crusades

		Tancred took possession of the towns of Cilicia, whilst Baldwin, summoned by the Armenians, crossed the Euphrates in October, 1097, and, after marrying an Armenian princess, was proclaimed Lord of Edessa.

	Arnold Bennett, "The Card".
		Mr Duncalf was town Clerk of Bursley, and a solicitor.
		She had meant to do what is called in the Five Towns "a moonlight flit." The pantechnicon (doubtless from Birmingham, where her father was) had been brought to her door late in the evening, and was to have been filled and taken away during the night.
		In the Five Towns, and perhaps elsewhere, there exists a custom in virtue of which a couple who have become engaged in the early summer find themselves by a most curious coincidence at the same seaside resort, and often in the same street thereof, during August.

		That afternoon it was a shy and timid Anna who swung back the heavy polished and glazed portals of the Bursley branch of the Birmingham, Sheffield and district Bank, the opulent and spacious erection which stands commandingly at the top of Saint Luke’s Square.
		You said you had nothing!” her unspoken thought ran, and at the same instant the Sunday-school and everything connected with it grievously sank in her estimation; she contrasted this scene with that on the previous day with the peccant school-girl: it was an hour of disillusion.

		Enoch Arnold Bennett was born on 27 May 1867, in Hanley, at the heart of the six towns that later federated to form the city of Stoke-on-Trent, in north Staffordshire, England.
		His father, Enoch Bennett, was a self-made man who had risen from a working class pottery family, qualified as a solicitor and significantly provided a good collection of books for his family's use.
		For example, the visit of the menagerie to the Potteries and the death of the elephant in The Old Wives' Tale is a largely faithful account of an event which his parents must have remembered well.
