George Paston : unknown

'Bennett selected the things that interested him - notably novelists such as Henry James, Thomas Hardy, and his friend George Paston. It was through a review of a book by H. G. Wells that the two men first became friends, Bennett taking the initiative and writing to Wells in September 1897 to say how much he liked his work, and to ask him how well he knew the Potteries, which Wells had mentioned in several of his stories.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Book

  

George Paston : A Modern Amazon, A Bread and Butter Miss, A Study in Prejudices

'My reviewing has been mixing me up with literary folk lately. One ?George Paston? (niece of John Addington Symonds) whose 3 books I have consistently belauded wants to behold me in the flesh, & she is going to; I like her work much.'

Century: 1850-1899     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Book
