Autoren-Porträt von E. F. Benson
Edward Frederic Benson, best known as E. F. Benson, was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist, and short story writer, born on July 24, 1867, in Berkshire and passing on February 29, 1940. One of the Benson literary family, he was the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Edward White Benson. E. F. Benson is perhaps most renowned for his series of novels about the social-climbing Mapp and Lucia characters, which have remained enduringly popular. However, his versatility spanned various genres, with more than 100 works to his name. His collection, 'E. F. Benson: Short Stories', showcases his skill in this concentrated literary form, marrying his keen eye for social satire with elements of the supernatural, for which he also garnered attention. Benson's writing is characterized by witty dialogue, deft plotting, and an often sardonic view of the nuances of Edwardian society. His short stories, in particular, offer a cross-section of his interests, ranging from the urbane comedies to tales of the ghostly and macabre. Benson's influence persisted throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, with 'E. F.
