Anna of the Five Towns
Autor Arnold Bennett Editat de Success Oceoen Limba Engleză Paperback
The plot centres on Anna Tellwright, daughter of a wealthy but miserly and dictatorial father, living in the Potteries area of Staffordshire, England. Her activities are strictly controlled by the Methodist church. The novel tells of Anna's struggle for freedom and independence against her father's restraints, and her inward battle between wanting to please her father and wanting to help Willie Price whose father, Titus Price, commits suicide after falling into bankruptcy and debt. During the novel, Anna is courted by the town's most eligible bachelor Henry Mynors, and agrees to be his wife, much to her young sister Agnes' pleasure. She discovers in the end, however, that she loves Willie Price, but does not follow her heart, as he is leaving for Australia, and she is already promised to Mynors. Willie then also commits suicide.

Notă biografică
Arnold
Bennett
(1867-1931)
was
one
of
the
most
versatile,
ambitious
and
successful
British
novelists
of
the
early
20th
century.
His
novels
and
short
stories
both
celebrate
and
deplore
a
rapidly
changing
Britain.
Much
of
his
greatest
work
is
set
where
he
grew
up,
in
the
Potteries
of
the
West
Midlands.
Inspired
by
Zola
and
Maupassant,
he
realized
that
this
world
of
brutal
industrial
work
and
rapid
social
change,
religious
severity
and
material
temptation,
was
the
perfect
backdrop
for
everything
from
comedy
to
tragedy.
He
died
of
typhoid.
