Anna of the Five Towns (Wordsworth Classics)

Set in the late victorian period, Anna of the Five Towns is a brilliantly perceptive novel of provincial life in the Staffordshire Potteries. Arnold Bennett deploys his prodigious literary talent to describe sympathetically the dismal, harsh and occacionally squalid lives of his characters in such a way that they appear interesting, in this the first of his major works to draw on the experiences of his early life. Bennett described Anna of the Five Towns as "A sermon against parental tyranny", an affliction he was particularly well qualified to write about.
