Produktinformationen zu „Dodo Trilogy (ePub)“
E. F. Benson's Dodo Trilogy consists of three novels, Dodo: A Detail of the Day, Dodo's Daughter, and Dodo Wonders, which provide a satirical and witty commentary on English society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Benson's literary style is characterized by sharp wit, social observation, and biting humor, making the trilogy a compelling and entertaining read. The novels explore the lives of the eccentric and charming Dodo character, offering a glimpse into the world of high society and politics during the time period. E. F. Benson, known for his humorous and observational writing, drew inspiration from his own experiences in English society, having been born into a prominent family. His understanding of social hierarchies and dynamics is evident in the richly detailed characters and settings he creates in the Dodo Trilogy. Benson's keen eye for satire adds depth and complexity to his portrayal of the upper class. I highly recommend the Dodo Trilogy to readers interested in social satire, British literature, or historical fiction. Benson's sharp wit and keen observations make the trilogy an engaging and entertaining read that offers valuable insights into the society and culture of the time.
Autoren-Porträt von E. F. Benson
Edward Frederic Benson, often referred to as E.F. Benson, was an accomplished English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist, and short story writer, born on July 24, 1867, in Wellington College, Berkshire. Benson was the fifth child of Edward White Benson, an Archbishop of Canterbury. He was educated at Marlborough and King's College, Cambridge, where he first honed his writing skills (Masters, 1991). Best known for his Mapp and Lucia series, E.F. Benson was also the author of the highly popular Dodo Trilogy, which provided a satirical and humorous look at the social climbing and romances of the Edwardian society (Benét, 1948). His books often show a pellucid wit and a penchant for the exploration of manners and morals. Benson's Dodo Trilogy, inclusive of 'Dodo: A Detail of the Day' (1893), 'Dodo's Daughter' (1913), and 'Dodo Wonders' (1921), exemplifies his capacity to illuminate the lives of the British upper crust with a bittersweet combination of irony and sympathy (Phelps, 1947). More than a mere series of books, the Dodo Trilogy portrays the dynamic shifts in societal structures amidst the trials of its eponymous protagonist, reflecting both the superficiality and the human depth of the time. E.F. Benson's literary style is characterized by its wit, character-driven narratives, and an acute sense of observation (Visiak, 1964). He passed away on February 29, 1940, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most prolific and enduring writers of his time.
