Inhaltsangabe
Discover practical ideas on writing across novels and plays, and how to keep the art true to life.
This edition examines how writers choose a path through life’s clashing ideas and how they turn raw experience into art. It argues that the artist’s job is to record what is, not what ought to be, and to avoid letting sentimentality derail honest craft. You’ll find a clear look at how books and plays shape their material, how audiences respond, and why business realities matter to creativity.
The author challenges common myths about writing for the stage and offers plain-speaking guidance on technique, structure, and purpose. It’s a practical, no-nonsense exploration of how great writers balance vitality with form, and how editors, agents, and readers influence the final work.
- Understand how writers shape real life into compelling characters and scenes.
- Learn why a play can be easier to write than a novel, and what that means for pacing and structure.
- Gain a grounded view of the publishing world, agents, and the business side of art.
- Get recommended mindsets for staying true to your artistic vision while engaging readers.
Ideal for readers who want pragmatic guidance on writing, editing, and sustaining honest storytelling across genres.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book on craft and technique, from the novelist and playwright Arnold Bennett, offers an engaging guide to the genesis of writing from the quirks of the imagination through to the finished result. Bennett's foundational premise is that writing in its various forms is rooted in keen observation of humanity and the world around us. By seeing and experiencing life directly, the writer can then transmit their vision through storytelling. Broken into three parts, Bennett examines the unique demands and advantages of novels, plays, and their creators, using examples from history and contemporary works to illustrate his points. Tackling the practicalities of writing itself, the author underscores the importance of technique in a writer's ability to create compelling work, though this technique should always serve the story and never become its focus. Providing insight into the minds, methods, and motivations of writers, this book is an insightful and engaging guide for those interested in writing or the art of storytelling itself.
