Born in Wellington College, Berkshire, he was the son of Edward White Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and brother to A. C. Benson and R. H. Benson, both of whom also had distinguished writing careers. E. F. Benson studied at Marlborough and King's College, Cambridge, where he excelled at classics and was a part of the university's archaeological expeditions to Greece. Benson's literary style combined satire, humor, and acute character observations. His bibliography encompasses a variety of genres including social satires, supernatural horror, and historical fiction.
