Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Robert Hugh Benson AFSC KC*SG KGCHS (18 November 1871 - 19 October 1914) was an English Anglican priest who in 1903 was received into the Roman Catholic Church in which he was ordained priest in 1904. He was a prolific writer of fiction and wrote the notable dystopian novel Lord of the World (1907). His output encompassed historical, horror and science fiction, contemporary fiction, children's stories, plays, apologetics, devotional works and articles. He continued his writing career at the same time as he progressed through the hierarchy to become a Chamberlain to the Pope in 1911 and subsequently titled Monsignor. Early life: Benson was the youngest son of Edward White Benson (Archbishop of Canterbury) and his wife, Mary, and the younger brother of Edward Frederic Benson and A. C. Benson. Benson was educated at Eton College and then studied classics and theology at Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1890 to 1893. In 1895, Benson was ordained a priest in the Church of England by his father, who was the then Archbishop of Canterbury. Career: After his father died suddenly in 1896, Benson was sent on a trip to the Middle East to recover his own health. While there he began to question the status of the Church of England and to consider the claims of the Roman Catholic Church. His own piety began to tend toward the High Church tradition, and he started exploring religious life in various Anglican communities, eventually obtaining permission to join the Community of the Resurrection. Benson made his profession as a member of the community in 1901, at which time he had no thoughts of leaving the Church of England. As he continued his studies and began writing, however, he became more and more uneasy with his own doctrinal position and, on 11 September 1903, he was received into the Catholic Church. He was awarded the Dignitary of Honour of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Benson was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1904 and sent to Cambridge. He continued his writing career along with his ministry as a priest. Novelist: Like both his brothers, Edward Frederic Benson ("Fred") and Arthur Christopher Benson, Robert wrote many ghost and horror stories, as well as children's stories and historical fiction. His horror and ghost fiction are collected in The Light Invisible (1903) and A Mirror of Shallott (1907). His novel, Lord of the World (1907), is generally regarded as one of the first modern dystopian novels (see List of dystopian literature). The bibliography below reveals a prodigious output.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of English upper-class society in the early 20th century, offering a captivating glimpse into the lives of a family living amidst landed gentry and country pursuits. The author masterfully captures the nuances of social interactions, class dynamics, and the complexities of human relationships through the lens of a weekend house party at Crowston, a sprawling estate in the English countryside. The story centers around the Banister family, whose lives are governed by traditions, expectations, and a rigid adherence to social convention. Algy, a young man returning from London, becomes a catalyst for disruption, his romantic idealism and unconventional ways clashing with the established order. The author explores the tension between tradition and individual desire, contrasting Algy's yearning for authentic connection with the shallowness and complacency of the established social circle. Through sharp wit and keen observation, the author unveils the underlying anxieties, desires, and unspoken truths that simmer beneath the surface of polite society. The novel examines the pressures of social conformity and the complexities of love and relationships, offering a timeless commentary on the human need for connection in a world where appearances often overshadow genuine human experience. The novel is a richly textured exploration of English society and the timeless struggle between individual freedom and social expectation.
