About this title

About the Author

Benjamin Kidd (September 9, 1858 - October 2, 1916) Benjamin Kidd was born in County Clare, Ireland. Benjamin entered the Inland Revenue Department of the Civil Service in 1877. He worked in obscurity there for seventeen years. However, his spare time was devoted to study and writing, in 1894. He became widely known after the publication of his essay, Social Evolution. This work was a worldwide success and was translated into German, Swedish, French, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Czech, Danish and Arabic. The success of his work allowed Benjamin to retire from the Civil Service and in 1898 he travelled extensively throughout America and Canada. These travels resulted in a series of articles commissioned by The Times. He later went on to write many works some of which are considered to be some of the most groundbreaking work ever to be created.
