	Arnold Bennett - Son of Stoke-on-Trent
		Bennett's infancy was spent in genteel poverty, which gave way to prosperity as his father succeeded as a solicitor.
		Although Arnold Bennett never returned to the Potteries to live he never forgot the debt which he owed to his birthplace for giving him a unique setting for so many of his novels, a setting which he enhanced with his penetrating description of people and places.
		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.

	Frank Harris and Arnold Bennett
		Bennett was a natural writer to whom literary composition came easily, a good-natured and amiable man, a Fabian socialist; Harris found writing hard - surprisingly so, considering the size of his output - and was an agitated, forceful individual, politically inconsistent but given to outbursts of radicalism.
		Bennett responded that although "in certain moods" he agreed with Frank's criticism, he felt that as "a fully equipped artist" he should be able to "take a Pentonville omnibus and show it to be fine".

	Literary Encyclopedia: Arnold Bennett
		Arnold Bennett was born on 27 May 1867 at Hanley in the English West Midlands, a town in what was then a dourly industrial region dominated by the manufacture of crockery, and hence known as the “Potteries”.
		All these novels of the “Five Towns” can be seen as Bennett’s considered response to the continental Realist tradition represented by Balzac, Zola and the de Goncourt brothers – as well as to the social philosophy of Herbert Spencer – but they are also considerably less deterministic and less moralistic than these writers can be.
		Here Bennett’s characteristically acute attention to the codes and conflicts implicit in the fabric of everyday life becomes so claustrophobic as to serve as a formal reflection of the book’s central theme of obsessive miserliness.
