| Summary | "Denry the Audacious" by Arnold Bennett is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers on Edward Henry Machin, known as Denry, a young man from modest beginnings in the industrial town of Bursley. Through audacity and a knack for seizing opportunities, Denry navigates a path from clerk to a more ambitious life, driven by his encounter with a Countess and the resulting aspirations that come from that fateful dance. The opening portion introduces Denry's upbringing and personality, showcasing him as a charming and somewhat mischievous character who, despite his humble origins, possesses dreams of greatness. We meet his widowed mother, who struggles to support them through her work as a seamstress. Denry's audacity is highlighted when he cheats in a school exam to win a scholarship, which sets him on a trajectory towards better opportunities. The narrative then shifts to a significant event: the Countess's upcoming municipal ball, which captures Denry’s imagination and ambition, leading him to orchestrate an invitation for himself to the elite gathering. As Denry becomes involved in social maneuvering and romantic possibilities, his desires and the complexities of his character begin to unfold, promising more adventures ahead in this richly drawn tale of ambition and social aspiration.
