- W2489735394 abstract "For a writer who worked as efficiently and obsessively as Bennett his second novel, Anna of the Five Towns, took him an unusually long time to complete; he began it in September 1896 but did not finish it until May 1901. The reason for this long gestation lies partly within the events of Bennett’s life. At this time he was also looking after his father who was dying in the painful and humiliating way Bennett was later to portray in Clayhanger. His fiction gives us a clearer picture of this psychological landmark than his own reserved accounts; we can only speculate about the conflicts he was experiencing and the kinds of adjustments he was making during the period of renewed and heightened contact with his past. What Bennett’s letters do more obviously show us at this time is his growth in confidence as a writer. In February 1897 he wrote to his friend George Sturt setting out his aims in a way which suggests that he was also realistically appraising his own limitations: I go in for unity of theme partly because I like it, and partly because it is easier to get effects with a simple single theme, than with a complicated one. A small man can make a largish sort of effect if he confines himself to one single character, with no relief & turns it inside out. That is what I hope to do. I know I haven’t got the creative impulse necessary for a big theme, but I fancy I can, by sheer force of concentration and monotony do something effective in a small way.1" @default.
