Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

E. F. Benson's "The Collected Works" is a masterful compilation that showcases his literary prowess, weaving together themes of society, identity, and the intricacies of human relationships. This anthology offers a rich tapestry of his narratives, characterized by a keen sense of observation and a witty, often sardonic style. Benson's writing emerges from the Gothic and Edwardian literary contexts, reflecting the shifting societal norms and individual anxieties of his time, ultimately revealing the complexities of both the mundane and the extraordinary in everyday life. Benson, a prolific author born into an artistic family, was deeply influenced by his upbringing and his experiences as a member of the LGBTQ+ community in early 20th-century Britain. His career as a novelist, playwright, and biographer, along with his keen interest in social dynamics, shaped his ability to craft characters that resonate with authenticity. The integration of personal elements into his works often invites readers to confront the societal issues that pervaded his era, making his insights remarkably timeless. For readers who appreciate nuanced explorations of character and society interlaced with humor and irony, "The Collected Works" is essential. Benson's distinctive voice and observational brilliance not only entertain but also prompt reflection on the enduring complexities of human connection, making this collection a valuable addition to any literary repertoire.

Giới thiệu tác giả

Edward Frederic Benson (1867–1940) was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, archaeologist, and short story writer, known for his witty and well-observed portrayals of Edwardian society and his supernatural fiction. Born to an architect father who would become the Archbishop of Canterbury, Benson was educated at Marlborough and King's College, Cambridge. After his studies, he worked at the British School of Archaeology in Athens, an experience that informed his early novels. Benson's literary career was prolific, encompassing various genres. His most enduring work is perhaps the 'Mapp and Lucia' series, a comedic portrayal of small-town snobbery and eccentric characters, which immortalized him as a master of social satire. His speculative fiction was no less acclaimed, with stories like 'The Room in the Tower' showing a penchant for eerie and macabre themes. In 'The Collected Works of E. F. Benson', readers can explore the breadth of his literary accomplishments. Typically marked by a light, humorous writing style, Benson had the talent for both capturing the foibles of his time and enchanting readers with tales of the supernatural, securing his place as a significant figure in early 20th-century English literature.
