Autoren-Porträt von E. F. Benson
Edward Frederic Benson, known as E. F. Benson (1867-1940), was an English novelist, biographer, memoirist, and short story writer, best recognized for his Mapp and Lucia series, which satirized the social pretensions and petty rivalries of provincial English townsfolk. Born in Berkshire and educated at Marlborough and King's College, Cambridge, Benson was a prolific writer and produced a variety of works throughout his career, including ghost and horror stories. His series featuring the characters Miss Elizabeth Mapp and Mrs. Emmeline Lucas (Lucia) is celebrated for its comedic wit and incisive depiction of British social mores. 'Mapp and Lucia', the fourth book of the series, is often acclaimed as a high point of his fictional achievements. Beyond this series, Benson's range encompassed biographies - with notable works on Queen Victoria and Charlotte Bronte - and nearly one hundred books across different genres. His style is characterized by a sharp and often acerbic wit, penetrating social observation, and an underlying humane insight. Benson's work influenced later satirists and remains popular, enjoyed for both its historical value and its humorous take on British society during the Edwardian and interwar periods.
