Beschreibung

Arnold Bennett's "Riceyman Steps" is a masterful exploration of the psychological and social landscapes of early 20th-century Britain, set in a seemingly ordinary neighborhood of North London. Through its rich characterizations and evocative descriptions, Bennett employs a realist literary style that delves into the lives of its protagonists, highlighting their yearnings, conflicts, and loneliness amidst the backdrop of urban life. The novel navigates themes of obsession, the passage of time, and the struggle for fulfillment, thereby establishing a poignant commentary on the human condition. Arnold Bennett (1867-1931) was a prominent British author known for his keen observations of everyday life and the socio-economic conditions of his time. Growing up in the industrial town of Hanley, Bennett's experiences shaped his worldview and inspired his writings. His deep understanding of working-class struggles and aspirations allows him to create relatable, intricate characters that reflect the evolving landscape of British society. "Riceyman Steps" is often considered one of his finest works, showcasing his unique narrative style and thematic depth. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in psychological fiction and those who appreciate nuanced portrayals of urban life. Bennett's profound insights into humanity and the complexities of desire make "Riceyman Steps" an essential read for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of the socio-cultural fabric of early 20th-century England.

    Adeline Virginia Woolf was born on the 25th January 1882 in South Kensington in London. 
    Although lauded as a founder of modernist writing with such classics as ‘Orlando’, ‘Mrs Dalloway’ and ‘To the Lighthouse’ and, of course, many classic short stories, her background is filled with elements of tragedy that she somehow overcame to become such a revered writer.   Her mother died when she was 13, her half-sister Stella two years later and with it her first of several nervous breakdowns.  Appallingly it was later found that three of her half-brothers had sexually abused her so darkness must have seemed ever present.   
    She began writing professionally at age 20 but her father’s death two years later brought a complete mental collapse and she was briefly institutionalised.  Somehow she found within herself a literary career and with it great innovations in writing; she was a pioneer of “stream of consciousness”.    
    Her tight circle of friends were the founders of the Bloomsbury Group, a movement whose legacy still influences across the arts and society in many way to this day.   
    Whilst the dark periods continued to interrupt her emotional state her rate of work never ceased.  Until, on 28th March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled up its pockets with stones, and walked into the River Ouse, in Lewes, East Sussex and drowned herself.  Her body was not recovered until the 18th April.  She was 59. 
    She left behind a note which read in part “Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again.  I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times.  And I shan't recover this time.  I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate.  So I am doing what seems the best thing to do”.
