{PDF EPUB} the Temple of Death the Ghost Stories of AC & RH Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Temple of Death The Ghost Stories of A.C. & R.H. Benson by A.C. Benson A.C. Benson. Arthur Christopher Benson (1862-1925), from The Poems of A.C. Benson , 1909. Courtesy Internet Archive . Arthur Christopher Benson (24 April 1862 - 17 June 1925) was an English poet and essayist, who served as the 28th Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Contents. Life [ edit | edit source ] Benson was 1 of 6 children of Edward White Benson (Archbishop of Canterbury, 1882-1896) and his wife Mary (Sidgwick), sister of philosopher Henry Sidgwick. His siblings included novelists E.F. Benson and Robert Hugh Benson, and Egyptologist Margaret Benson. The Benson family was exceptionally literate and accomplished, but their history was somewhat tragic. A son and daughter died young; and another daughter, as well as Arthur himself, suffered badly from a mental condition that was probably manic-depressive psychosis, which they had inherited from their father. None of the children ever married. Benson never married, and his diaries suggest that he was gay but asexual. [1] Despite his illness, Arthur was a distinguished academic and a prolific author. He was educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge. [2] From 1885 to 1903 he taught at Eton, returning to Cambridge to lecture in English literature for Magdalene College. From 1915 to 1925, he was Master of Magdalene. From 1906, he was a governor of Gresham's School. [3] Benson caricatured in Vanity Fair , June 1903. Courtesy Wikimedia Commons . He died in Cambridge, aged 63. He is buried at the Ascension Parish Burial Ground in Cambridge. [4] Recognition [ edit | edit source ] His poems and volumes of essays, such as From a College Window, were famous in his day; and he left 1 of the longest diaries ever written, some 4 million words. Today, he is best remembered as the author of the words to a well-loved patriotic song, Land of Hope and Glory. A Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, he founded in 1916 the Benson Medal to be awarded ‘in respect of meritorious works in poetry, fiction, history and belles lettres’ [5] His poem "The Phoenix" was included in the Oxford Book of English Verse (1250-1900).

Robert Hugh Benson AFSC KC*SG KGCHS (18 November 1871 – 19 October 1914) was the youngest son of Edward White Benson (Archbishop of Canterbury) and his wife, Mary. He was also the brother of novelist Edward Frederic Benson and poet A.C. Benson. Contents. Life [ edit | edit source ] Benson was educated at Eton College and then studied classics and theology at Trinity College, Cambridge from 1890 to 1893. [1] In 1895, he was ordained a priest in the Church of England by his father who was the then Archbishop of Canterbury. Benson's father died suddenly in 1896 and he was sent on a trip to the Middle East to recover his own health. While there, he began to question the status of the Church of England and to consider the claims of the Catholic Church. His own piety began to tend toward the High Church variety and he started exploring religious life in various Anglican communities, eventually obtaining permission to join the Community of the Resurrection.

  • Margaret Benson (1865-1916) by William Peck
    Margaret Benson (1865-1916) by William Peck The early history of archaeology in Egypt, as elsewhere in the exploration of the Mediterranean world, was entirely dominated by men and essentially closed to women until very nearly the end of the nineteenth century. Those women who expressed a keen interest in the history and antiquities of Egypt were essentially restricted in the employment of their talents to the roles of amateur collector of artifacts, author of travelers' accounts, or as a supportive wife of a male scholar/adventurer. In the study of ancient Egypt it was not until 1895 that a woman was given some measure of authority over her own archaeological project. Margaret Benson, daughter of the presiding Archbishop of Canterbury, was the first woman to be granted permission to conduct her own excavation under a concession awarded by officials of the Egyptian Department of Antiquities. The site in Luxor that drew her attention was the Precinct of the goddess Mut, in its remote location to the south of the temple complex of the god Amun at Karnak. The precinct contained the ruins of three temples and a number of smaller structures but its most distinctive and picturesque feature was a "sacred lake" of horseshoe shape, partly encircling the Temple of Mut in the center of the complex. This temple itself had only been investigated in the most cursory manner until Margaret Benson expressed an interest in exploring it. At the time she began her work Margaret Benson was a thirty year-old woman with no training in archaeology and no experience in excavation.

  • Faith & Reason
    FAITH & REASON THE JOURNAL OF CHRISTENDOM COLLEGE Summer 2003| Vol. XXVIII, No. 2 Robert Hugh Benson’s Life and Letters, On the Centenary of His Conversion1 Paschal Baumstein, O.S.B. N 11 SEPTEMBER 1903, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, A SON OF AN ANGLICAN ARCH- bishop of Canterbury made his submission to Rome.2 The conversion of 1903 won immediate prominence in the religious press, where readers learned that this was a double defection: the subject was not only of a prominent Anglican family, he was also an ordained priest of the State Church. At the center of this furor was a slight man, of modest height, fair-haired, two months short of his thirty-second birthday. He was Robert Hugh Benson, soon to become the most prominent Catholic novelist of Edwardian England, indeed the best-selling author of explicitly Catholic literature in English of the frst half of the twentieth century. Today, however, a century after his reception as a Roman Catholic, Benson is seldom read; his name is restricted to Catholic trivia games, and his life, once internationally lauded, is largely forgotten. Why is this? Why do people today no longer read Robert Hugh Benson? There is ind- eed reason for this neglect, but there is also a compelling argument that he should continue to be read. Hugh, born in 1871, was the fourth and youngest son of Edward White Benson (1829-1896), who would hold the bishopric of Canterbury from 1882-1896.3 With his wife, Mary (Sidgwick), the Archbishop sired six children in all, starting in 1860: two sons, two daughters, then two additional sons.4 The frst-born, Martin (1860-1878), was esteemed for his brilliance of intellect and character.
