Autorenporträt
Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914) was an English priest and prolific author, who garnered posthumous acclaim for his literary contributions to the Christian fiction genre. The son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Benson was initially an Anglican priest but later converted to Roman Catholicism and was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1904. This conversion significantly influenced his writing, and he often explored the conflicting tensions between the Anglican and Catholic faiths within his works. Benson was distinguished for his skillful storytelling and his ability to intertwine religious themes with the popular fiction of his time. Perhaps his most notable dystopian work, 'The Dawn of All' - a lesser-known sequel to his acclaimed novel 'Lord of the World' - envisions a future where Roman Catholicism has shaped world society. Benson's literary style is characterized by rich description, deep religious and philosophical underpinnings, and a nuanced understanding of human nature and theology. Although his works primarily attracted Catholic readers, the universal appeal of his themes has continued to resonate with a broader audience. Benson's contributions to Christian literature and his exploration of prophetic and speculative fiction remain influential, underlining the enduring significance of his canon far beyond his lifetime.
