Autorenporträt
Edward Frederic Benson (1867-1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist and short story writer, known professionally as E.F. Benson. Son of an Archbishop of Canterbury, Benson was part of a literary family, with two brothers also being accomplished writers. Educated at Marlborough and King's College, Cambridge, he cultivated a passion for literature and writing early in his life. His breadth of work spans various genres, including nearly a hundred books, among them biographies, history, and ghost stories, but he is most famous for his social satires and the series of novels that include 'Mapp and Lucia - The Complete Series' which deftly parody the upper-middle-class society of the interwar period in Britain. Benson's writing style in his 'Mapp and Lucia' series is noted for its wit, character-driven narratives, and a satirical glance at the pretensions and idiosyncrasies of provincial English life. His influence on the comic novel is substantial, with later authors citing his work for its humor and psychological insight. The 'Mapp and Lucia' books remain popular to this day and have been adapted for television and radio, securing Benson's legacy within the canon of English literature as a master of comedy and social critique.
