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 he prepares for a hosted evening gathering, readers witness his reflections on domestic life and the imprint of his past on his new surroundings.
