Who among the following are called Edwardian Novelists?
A) George Eliot
B) Arnold Bennett
C) H. G. Wells
D) Edward Morgan Forster
E) Robert Louis Stevenson
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is B. C and D (which refers to Arnold Bennett, H. G. Wells, and Edward Morgan Forster).

To understand why these authors are classified as Edwardian novelists, we can look at the historical and literary contexts of each writer listed in the question:
1. Edwardian Period (1901-1910): This period corresponds to the reign of King Edward VII in the United Kingdom. In literature, Edwardian novelists often wrote about social criticism, class divisions, and the transition from Victorian rigidity to modern technology and industrialization.
2. Arnold Bennett (B): Bennett was a major novelist of the Edwardian era, famous for works like The Old Wives' Tale (1908) and the Clayhanger series, which realistically depicted the lives of ordinary people in the industrial "Potteries" district.
3. H. G. Wells (C): Wells wrote his landmark science fiction and social novels during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. His Edwardian novels, such as Kipps (1905) and Tono-Bungay (1909), explored class mobility, commercialism, and social reform.
4. Edward Morgan (E. M.) Forster (D): Forster wrote his most celebrated novels during the Edwardian period, including Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905), The Longest Journey (1907), A Room with a View (1908), and Howards End (1910). His works critiqued the social conventions and hypocrisy of Edwardian middle-class society.

Conversely, the other two authors belong to different literary periods:
- George Eliot (A): Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) is one of the leading novelists of the mid-Victorian era, active in the 19th century (e.g., Middlemarch, published in 1871–72).
- Robert Louis Stevenson (E): Stevenson is a late Victorian novelist and poet, famous for works like Treasure Island (1883) and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886).

Therefore, Arnold Bennett, H. G. Wells, and E. M. Forster are the Edwardian novelists, making B. C and D the correct choice.
