 BookRags: Stephen Vincent Benet Biography
Benet was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the son of a professional soldier with a deep interest in American history.
Benet was awarded a Guggenheim fellowship in 1926, and the Benets moved to Paris, where he planned to use this financially secure time to write a long poem inspired by his growing involvement in the exploration of American legends and history.
Although Benet called it a "cyclorama," it is generally regarded as an epic poem organized around sketches of fictional and historical characters through whom he depicts the vast conflict of the Civil War.

Stephen Vincent Benet (1898-1943) was once the most popular writer of poetry and fiction in the United States, particularly from 1928 to his untimely death.
Benet’s version, “By the Waters of Babylon”, was written in response to the bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War; he wrote many more stories and poems concerning the threat of fascism in the 1930s.
Benet suffered a childhood bout with scarlet fever that later prevented him from joining the army for World War I. As early as age seventeen Benet received praise for his first published volume of verse, Five Men and Pompey (1915), and at age twenty came a second volume of poems, Young Adventure (1918).

When Stephen Vincent Benét died in 1943 at the age of 44, all of America mourned the loss.
Benét was one of the country’s most well known poets of the first half of the twentieth century and as a fiction writer, he had an even larger audience.
Perhaps Benet has lost favor with the reading public because of his irrepressible optimism, his faith that, in spite of horrible setbacks, humanity is making progress.
