Arnold Bennett and Archibald Marshall: Two Letters from a Forgotten Literary Friendship

James Hepburn's three-volume Letters of Arnold Bennett is a masterful but nevertheless incomplete record of Bennett's many literary friendships. Bennett of course reigned as one of the most visible, productive, and profitable British writers of the post-war era. His advice and friendship was also sought by committed writers, frustrated playwrights, promising cntics, and envious journalists. In short, he became a flamboyant Garrick-like figure, counseling the crowded stalls of international adoration.
