Description
'Clayhanger' — Arnold Bennett 'Clayhanger' follows Edwin Clayhanger, the son of a successful printer in the industrial Five Towns of Staffordshire, as he struggles to establish an identity independent of his domineering father and the expectations of his family. His growing affection for Hilda Lessways brings him into conflict with social conventions, family authority and his own uncertainties about love and ambition. Set against the changing world of late-Victorian England, the novel offers a detailed portrait of provincial life, examining class, family, education, work and the desire for independence. First published in 1910, 'Clayhanger' is the first novel in Bennett’s Clayhanger trilogy, followed by 'Hilda Lessways' and 'These Twain'.
