I put forward these suggestions, not to be worked out, but merely to indicate how notions for articles should come to life in you. A constant effort to evolve ideas in this way cannot fail to be fruitful, and though most of the ideas will be cast aside as valueless, a few promising ones will remain. On no account abandon good articles because you fear they have been done before. Rorrison said: "Of course they have, but do them in your own way; the public has no memory, and besides, new publics are always springing up."

Anna of the Five Towns is a novel by Arnold Bennett, first published in 1902 and one of his best-known works 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.

This is a typical example of the sort of self-improvement essays or book that Arnold Bennett produced so readily during his heyday. In Britain in the first decades of the 20th century, there was a demand for anything that would help ordinary people better themselves, and Bennett obliged with volumes on Mental Efficiency, how to live 24 hours a day, how to improve one's literary taste, as well as books on the life of a novelist, etc. Overall, of course, he is deservedly best remembered for such novels as The Old Wives' Tale, the Clayhanger Trilogy, and The Card. Enoch Arnold Bennett (always known as Arnold Bennett) was one of the most remarkable literary figures of his time, a product of the English Potteries that he made famous as the Five Towns. Yet he could hardly wait to escape his home town, and he did so by the sheer force of his ambition to succeed as an author. In his time he turned his hand to every kind of writing, but he will be remembered for such novels as The Old Wives' Tale, the Clayhanger trilogy (Clayhanger, Hilda Lessways, and These Twain), and The Card. He also wrote such intriguing self-improvement books as Literary Taste, How To Live on 24 Hours a Day, The Human Machine, etc. As well as Bennetts novels, his non-fiction work has withstood the test of time, and is widely read today. In the Human Machine, Bennett explores the vital questions about how we can operate to our optimum potential. His answers are efficient and practical, and they work for the common man and woman.

And if and when, having comprehended that the rôle of observer is not passive but active, we determine by an effort to rouse ourselves from the coma and really to see the spectacle of the world (a spectacle surpassing circuses and even street accidents in sustained dramatic interest), we shall discover, slowly in the course of time, that the act of seeing, which seems so easy, is not so easy as it seems. Let a man resolve: "I will keep my eyes open on the way to the office of a morning," and the probability if that for many mornings he will see naught that is not trivial, and that his system of perspective will be absurdly distorted. The unusual, the unaccustomed, will infallibly attract him, to the exclusion of what is fundamental and universal. Travel makes observers of us all, but the things which as travellers we observe generally show how unskilled we are in the new activity.

Fleeing a drab and dead-end existence, Richard Larch moves south from Bursley to London, intent upon pursuing a career as a writer. Great things are expected of him by those he has left behind, but will he fulfil their expectations and publish a novel, or be consumed by all the metropolis has to offer? He is also looking for companionship and love, but finds his high hopes dashed when life in the capital is fraught with difficulties, and the glittering career proves to be more elusive than anticipated. Melancholic and starkly realistic.

Excerpt from The Great Adventure: A Comedy in Four Acts Ilam Carve. Aged 45. One of the best known painters in Europe. Like all first-class artists, he combines marked and subtle personal distinction with boyishness and impulsiveness. All his gestures are invariably distinguished, but his demeanour varies from the very dignified to the childlike. An egoist, of course, but a persuasive one. Charming in manner; but sometimes fretful. For everything outside his art he is always depending on someone else, and he takes it for granted that people will sympathise with him. Timid, confiding; and naive in unimportant matters. Well but carelessly dressed. Albert Shawn. Aged 45. His valet. In appearance he vulgarly resembles his master. Cyrus Carve. Aged 45. His cousin. The successful City auctioneer of real estate. Rude. Thickskinned. No fine perceptions whatever. As ugly as possible. Dr. Pascoe. The Redcliffe Gardens general practitioner. Aged 50. Overworked. Experienced. His formal politeness masks cynicism. But in a prolonged conversation the sympathetic natural human being will come out. Usually curt in demeanour. Edward Horning. Aged 30. Dr. Pascoe's assistant. Somewhat dull and shabby. Janet Cannot. Aged 32. Widow. She belongs by birth and marriage to the lower-middle class. Her dress is not expensive, but is natty and shows a faint originality. Her personality and demeanour are characterised by calm, shrewd coramonsense, and great persuasive charm.
