Edward Frederic Benson

Edward Frederic Benson (1867 - 1940), narratore, saggista e biografo inglese, nacque a Wellington College dove suo padre, che più tardi doveva divenire Arcivescovo di Canterbury, era preside. Oltre all’attività accademica a Marlborough e al King’s College di Cambridge, si dedicò all’archeologia e agli studi classici. Fra i due secoli Benson produsse un numero incredibile di opere di narrativa di evasione e di carattere biografico. Ma è per il suo contributo all’evoluzione del racconto del perturbante che ancora oggi viene ricordato e riproposto.
