About the book

E. F. Benson's «The Collected Works» is a masterful anthology that encompasses 23 novels and over 30 short stories, revealing his keen insights into the nuances of early 20th-century British society. The collection is marked by Benson's distinctive literary style, characterized by wit, irony, and a keen psychological understanding of character. His works, such as the celebrated «Dodo Trilogy» and the charmingly satirical «Queen Lucia» series, explore themes of class, social competition, and the quaintness of village life, all imbued with a rich tapestry of period-specific detail. E. F. Benson, a contemporary of authors such as E. M. Forster and Virginia Woolf, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in a socially privileged upbringing and a career in various literary forms, including fiction, memoirs, and ghost stories. His capacity to blend comedy with pathos, as well as his fascination with the complexities of human relationships, reflected the societal shifts of his time, making his work an essential study in Edwardian literature. This collection is an essential read for anyone interested in the interplay of humor and social commentary in early 20th-century literature. With its engaging characterizations and sharp observations, Benson's works invite readers into a bygone era that resonates with contemporary themes, making it a valuable addition to both personal libraries and scholarly collections.
