作者简介

E.F. Benson (1867-1940) was a prolific English novelist and biographer known for his wit and finely crafted prose. Born in Wellington College, Benson was part of an accomplished family; his father was the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his brothers were also notable figures in the literary and political spheres. Benson's works spanned numerous genres, but he is perhaps best remembered for his Mapp and Lucia series which captured the quintessentially British social rivalries in a small town. His writing style is marked by acute characterizations and a dry, humorous tone. 'Sheaves', one of Benson's many works, underlines his narrative strength and ability to weave engaging, multi-layered storylines with a keen eye for detail. Aside from fiction, Benson wrote several biographies, including 'Queen Victoria' and 'Charlotte Bronte'. His contributions to the world of literature earned him a significant following during his lifetime, and his books have enjoyed lasting popularity. As a testament to his standing in the literary pantheon, Benson is studied for his distinctive contribution to the genre of social satire and his ability to mirror the complexities of societal hierarchies through his characters and plots.
