| Summary | "These Twain" by Arnold Bennett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the life of Edwin Clayhanger, a successful master-printer, as he navigates his new responsibilities as a husband to Hilda, a woman with a complex past. As the narrative unfolds, it explores themes of societal expectations, domesticity, and the contrasts between old and new values in a changing world. The opening of the novel introduces us to Bleakridge, a suburb divided between old and new architectural styles reflecting the societal changes of the time. It establishes Edwin's character, a house-proud man who feels a mix of nervousness and pride about his new marriage to Hilda, who brings a vibrant energy into his life. As he prepares for a hosted evening gathering, readers witness his reflections on domestic life and the imprint of his past on his new surroundings. The interactions with other characters, including family members, servants, and Edwin's contemplation of his role, set the stage for a rich exploration of interpersonal dynamics within the context of the changing social fabric of the early 1900s.
