About the Author
Enoch Arnold Bennett, the son of a solicitor, was born in Hanley, Staffordshire. At twenty-one, he moved to London, initially to work as a solicitor's clerk, but he soon turned to writing popular serial fiction and editing a women's magazine. After the publication of his first novel, A Man From the North in 1898, he became a professional writer. He moved to Paris and became a man of cosmopolitan and discerning tastes. Bennett's great reputation is built upon the success of his novels and short stories set in the Potteries, an area of north Staffordshire that he recreated as the 'Five Towns'. Anna of the Five Towns and The Old Wives' Tale show the influence of Flaubert, Maupassant and Balzac as Bennett describes provincial life in great detail. Arnold Bennett is an important link between the English novel and European realism. He wrote several plays and lighter works such as The Grand Babylon Hotel and The Card.

A Darling Novel,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buried Alive (Paperback)
With a title such as "Buried Alive," one might expect a grizzly novel, but nothing could be further from the truth. This is a delightful tale and one that deserves a wider audience. The book served as the basis of a little-known Broadway musical in the 1960s called "Darling of the Day," by Jule Styne and E.Y. Harburg, starring Vincent Price and Patricia Routledge (best known for her TV show "Keeping Up Appearances"). The book and the musical are sweet and endearing, two adjectives that may turn off some modern readers, but it's their loss.

What can I say other than Enchanting book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Buried Alive (Paperback)
This is a true gem of a book.. I would give it more than 5 stars if I had a choice.. this is a delightful book about an extremely talented but painfully shy artist who is willing to go to any length to remain in the shadows.. I will not give away any of the main delight of this book, but please read it and enjoy it!!Buy it, borrow it or check it out the library..

Great Farce,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buried Alive (Paperback)
Arnold Bennett has fashioned a fine satire that brings to mind "Being There," except here the protagonist falls into a chain of events that threatens to expose his talents when all he wants-- Garbo-esque-- is to be "left alone." The novel skewers the art world, artists' temperaments, celebrity, and the way humans view the foibles of their loved ones. Bennett's better-known masterpiece "The Old Wives Tale" contained vignettes and observations of humor, but in "Buried Alive" he proves adept at an all-out comedy. I'm so glad I found this volume, it shows that Bennett had more than one excellent book in him, and led me to the also humorous "The Card." "Buried Alive" is definitely one of my favorite 20 novels.
