Autorenporträt
Edward Frederic Benson, often referred to as E. F. Benson, was a prolific English writer of fiction, known for his sharp wit and a richly depicted social world within his narratives. Born on July 24, 1867, in Wellington College, Berkshire, where his father was headmaster, Benson was part of an intellectually vibrant family. He later went on to study at Marlborough and King's College, Cambridge. His literary career spanned various genres including biographies, history, and ghost stories, but he is best remembered for his Mapp and Lucia series, which humorously satirizes the social pretensions of small-town English life. The delightful series has remained in print for decades and has been adapted for television. His work 'The Capsina' continues this trend, showcasing Benson's ability to combine historical subjects with his signature social observations. Beyond his more recognized titles, Benson was also a prolific contributor to the genre of supernatural fiction, his ghost stories aligning with the tastes of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. In total, he wrote over 100 books during his lifetime, a testament to his versatility and constant engagement with the world of literature. Benson's contribution to English literature was profound and his works continue to be studied for their social commentary and linguistic precision. He passed away on February 29, 1940, in London, but left behind a substantial and diverse literary legacy.
