Description

Discover the private thoughts of A. C. Benson through this substantial two-volume hardback collection. As a novelist, poet, and Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge, Benson kept a voluminous diary that was considered too controversial for immediate release and remained sealed after his death. This publication offers an extensive selection of his frank, revealing, and witty observations. These volumes provide acute judgements on people, institutions, and historical issues. The set includes a substantial introduction, full explanatory footnotes, a chronology, an index, and photographs to provide context for his writings. This collection serves as a significant biographical resource for readers interested in the life and perspective of the author of Land of Hope and Glory.

Key Features

This set includes two hardback volumes covering the years 1885 to 1925.

The collection features a substantial introduction and full explanatory footnotes for deeper context.

Readers can navigate the text easily with a full chronology and a detailed index included.

Acc Art Books provides historical photographs within this extensive diary selection.

The publication presents the previously sealed and controversial writings of A. C. Benson.
