Autor

Arthur Christopher Benson (1862-1925) was an English essayist, poet, and academic, best known for his role as the 28th Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge. He was highly regarded for his contributions to literature, particularly for his works in essay and poetry. Benson is best known for writing the lyrics to Edward Elgar's Coronation Ode, including the famous patriotic song "Land of Hope and Glory." Throughout his career, he produced a wide range of literary works, often reflecting on philosophical and existential themes. He was educated at Temple Grove School and Eton College before studying at Cambridge, where he eventually became the Master of Magdalene College. Benson came from a literary family-his brothers, E. F. Benson and Robert Hugh Benson, were also well-known writers. His works often explored the spiritual and emotional landscapes of the human condition, and his legacy continues to influence English literature today. Benson passed away in 1925, leaving behind a rich body of work that includes essays, poems, and reflections on life and its deeper meanings.
