Arnold Bennett, born in 1867 in Hanley, England, initially worked in his father's law firm before deciding to pursue his own path. After moving to London at twenty-one, he transitioned from a solicitor’s clerk to journalism, ultimately dedicating himself to writing by the turn of the century. His acclaimed novels, particularly The Old Wives Tale and Clayhanger, solidified his literary reputation, with The Old Wives Tale published in 1908 marking a significant milestone in his career.
