Clayhanger, by Arnold Bennett _______________________________________________________________________ This book is one of several written by Bennett about life in the Staffordshire Potteries in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The hero is Edwin Clayhanger, and we see him through his childhood, adolescence, early working life, when he was working for his martinet old father, and to the point where he inherits the business, which is printing. Bennett comes from that area of industrial Britain, and the book rings true on every page. NH _______________________________________________________________________…
