These five anthologies collect Arnold Bennett’s short fiction alongside the work of other writers. The Yellow Book was a quarterly literary journal published in the 1890s that featured Bennett among its contributors during his early career. Cosmopolitan Crimes (1971) and Rivals of Sherlock Holmes (1979) place his mystery stories in the context of turn-of-the-century detective and crime fiction.
The Joy of Football (1986) is an unexpected entry, collecting writing about the sport from various authors. 30 Occult & Supernatural Masterpieces (2019) gathers Bennett’s less well-known supernatural stories alongside work by other classic writers. These anthologies are useful for readers who want to sample Bennett’s short fiction without committing to a full collection.
