Benson, E. Born in 1867 to Edward White Benson, Headmaster of Wellington College, later Bishop of Truro, then Archbishop of Canterbury, and Mary Sidgwick, whom W. Gladstone once called "the cleverest woman in Europe," Edward Frederick Benson enjoyed a privileged upbringing within his elite Victorian family and, like his siblings, fell easily into prolific writing.
None of the Benson siblings married; three of them experienced periods of destructive depression; all of them at one time or another had same-sex relationships; and encouraged by their parents, they all wrote voluminously.
Benson's reputation faded quickly after his death, until the BBC adaptation of the Lucia books restored him to prominence.

In the first sermon Dr. Benson is surely going beyond his actual belief in referring to "the earliest race of man, with whom the whole race so nearly passed away." He can scarcely take the early chapters of Genesis literally at this time of day.
Benson may think he has good reasons for "the soul's" immortality, but he must be aware that divines of his own church have held the contrary doctrine.
The frame of mind it evinces is seen in Dr. Benson's interpretation of the exclamation "I thirst," ascribed to Jesus on the cross.
