The fourth of Robert Hugh Benson's "mainstream" novels, An Average Man, first published in 1913, is a far from average production. The novel may well be Benson's finest achievement, ripping to shreds the assumptions on which Edwardian upper class society believed civilization itself was built. Worldly success destroys one "average man," while it presents another, afflicted with seemingly endless and crushing defeats, with the opportunity of practicing virtue of a heroic stature.
This edition features a foreword by Benson scholar Michael D. Greaney.

Benson, Msgr. Robert Hugh
Robert Hugh Monsignor Benson (18 November 1871 – 19 October 1914) was an English Catholic priest and writer. First an Anglican priest, he was received into the Catholic Church in 1903 and ordained therein the next year. He was also a prolific writer of fiction, writing the notable dystopian novel Lord of the World, as well as Come Rack! Come Rope!.
His output encompassed historical, horror and science fiction, contemporary fiction, children's stories, plays, apologetics, devotional works and articles. He continued his writing career at the same time as he progressed through the hierarchy to become a Chamberlain to Pope Pius X in 1911, and gain the title of Monsignor before his death a few years later.
Christ in the Church
Christ in the Church
Conversations With Modern Man About Christ and His Church
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
A curious thing happened between the time Fr. Benson lived and where mankind finds itself today. The atheistic ideologies that were then only beginning to take hold in mainstream society have now metastasized throughout the contemporary world. The subtle and conversational presentation of this book is addressed to the modern man in that context. Fr. Benson gently exposes the whispered attacks, the implied ridicule, and anti-Catholic invective of his time and answers them with the patience of a friend, a father, and a priest. This apologetic approach is interwoven with the main conversation of the book: Christ’s Life and the parallels between it and His Church.
The genius of Fr. Benson’s book Christ in the Church is that he speaks to the reader with one goal in mind. Fr. Benson wishes for the atheist, the fallen away Catholic, and the poorly catechized to simply listen to a rational explanation of the world with Christ at its center.
Fr. Robert Hugh Benson is renowned for his contributions to Catholic literature. This recently rediscovered title is a fantastic example of why his books inspire people to come to Christ and His Church. Get this book for your family and friends and help them better defend themselves and the Faith against the modern errors.

A Winnowing
A Winnowing
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
Mixing such seemingly incongruous elements as social satire, near-slapstick, and obsession with death, A Winnowing, first published in 1910, is the first of Robert Hugh Benson's "mainstream novels." An undeservedly overlooked work today, the novel flays Edwardian society in terms that bring to mind the comedy of P. G. Wodehouse, and the black humor of Evelyn Waugh. The influence of A Winnowing is evident in Evelyn Waugh's take on the funeral industry in Southern California (The Loved One: An Anglo-American Tragedy).

In The Necromancers, Robert Hugh Benson sets out to expose the dangers of "Spiritism," interest in which had reached epidemic proportions by the early twentieth century. C. C. Martindale, S.J. commented that, "It is in The Necromancers, that he brings all his heavy artillery to bear on his professed enemy. Here again the uncanny enters, but rises to the heroic level, and achieves the horrible; and I will confess that I can think of no book which reaches so high a pitch of horror, unaided by alien elements."

The Coward
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
This third of Rober Hugh Benson's "mainstream" novels, The Coward may have been the most shocking to the upper class sensibilities of Benson's day. A young man is faced with challenges and manages to fail at every step. He becomes convinced he is an irredeemable coward - and only then begins to find courage. In a damning indictment of close-minded Edwardian society, a supreme act of courage on the young man's part is mistaken for yet one more craven act.

The Holy Blissful Martyr
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
Unique among the works of Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914), this short biographical sketch of St. Thomas à Becket, "the holy blissful martyr," (also known as St Thomas of Canterbury) began as research for a historical novel. Becket's murder at the instigation of Henry II launched the famed pilgrimage to Canterbury and inspired countless works of literature. When his collaborator bowed out of the project, Benson reworked the material into a compelling non-fictional portrait of one of England's most popular and significant historical figures.

Loneliness?
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
The sixth and final of Robert Hugh Benson's "mainstream" novels, Loneliness? examines the life of a woman who sacrifices everything to be accepted by people who can see her only in terms of her singing ability and the roles she plays on the stage. She is abandoned by them when she can no longer fit into their preconceived ideas. Published posthumously in 1915, Loneliness? may be Benson's least known, yet one of his most insightful - and entertaining - novels.

By What Authority?
By What Authority?
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
By What Authority? is Robert Hugh Benson's (1871-1914) first published historical novel. In it he portrays the story of the English Reformation in Elizabethan times from the Catholic point of view. This he achieved without the use of the stereotypes that characterized virtually all such productions in his day to the detriment of both sides of the question.
Travel across the English countryside hunting for priests; then find yourself in the Queen's court. During the Protestant Reformation, Catholics suffered terribly - families were divided; people jailed; priests were hunted down and killed; neighbour turned against neighbour. But through it all, the few priests that remained were able to sustain and convert many. The tale told in this book is one of suspense, deceit, loyalty, martyrdom, truth and conversion.

Initiation
Initiation
by Msg. Robert Hugh Benson
Who was young Sir Neville Fanning? Why did he call himself a Catholic, and at the same time, lament that he wasn't a very good one? He was convinced that there was something deeper than conventional religion. Denying the cross again and again, he couldn't bear to suffer - even though at every turn Our Lord called him to Himself. He simply could not see the point in submitting to the Divine Will. His "initiation" is a beautiful story of how the surrender was asked - and then won in the end!

Saint Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
“For the Name of Jesus, and the defense of the Church, I am ready to die.”—St. Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury
“St. Thomas therefore will always stand as a symbol of the unceasing conflict between the world and the Church; and the fact that some of the principles for which he contended do appear even to some Catholics to be on the very borderline between ‘dogma’ and ‘opinion,’ makes him all the more significant.”—Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson
Robert Hugh Benson’s retelling of St. Thomas Becket’s martyrdom offers a compelling portrait of an archbishop who died defending the Church’s independence from political control. This gripping narrative chronicles the tragic transformation of King Henry II and his former chancellor from intimate friends to mortal enemies, as their conflict over ecclesiastical authority escalates toward its bloody end. Benson masterfully illustrates how this twelfth-century struggle between throne and altar contained the philosophical seeds of a rupture that would reshape the Western world—prefiguring the Protestant Revolt and the conflicts between the Church and the world today. This struggle is summed up in St. Thomas’ own transformation as his allegiance shifts from an earthly king to the King of Kings.
“Catholics believe that Christ’s Kingdom is not of this world, and therefore cannot possibly, in the matter of her own constitution, be subject to secular control.”—Msgr. Robert Hugh Benson

“It is not every one that can keep his childhood. Father Benson has, and speaks to children bout the great, big eternal things in a child’s way. The little ones will be delighted to learn these verses by heart, and thus almost unconsciously gain a deep knowledge of Christian doctrine, and a love and habit of Catholic practice.
The Rule takes the little child from the moment it awakes…through his morning prayers; going to church; hearing Mass; saying grace; reciting lessons; practicing obedience; confessing his sins; receiving Holy Communion; evening prayers, and bed. Round them all Father Benson has put the fragrance of verse that will make them sweet and delightful to the child mind.” - from a review in The Catholic World, May 1913.

Confessions of a Convert
Confessions of a Convert
The Classic Spiritual Autobiography from the Author of Lord of the World
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
Benson weaves those challenges into Confessions of a Convert as he examines his own life for the signs and wonders that illuminated his way. He was astonished at how the remote God of his Anglican upbringing drew close to him, igniting a fire in his to heart and a desire to know God on a deeper level. This transformation led him to the doorstep of the Catholic Church. Reluctant to venture further because he was known as an important figure in the Anglican world, Benson grappled with the sacrifices he would make, including the loss of his vocation, family, and friends. After the death of his father, Benson finally embraced the nearness of God found in the Eucharist.
He shows us that coming closer to Christ and his Church is not always neat and tidy. Benson’s humor and humility help bridge the century-long gap between his time and ours and he teaches us to embrace the questions, struggles, and falterings of our faith in a way that’s full of God’s love.

Lord of the World
Lord of the World
A Dystopian Future as seen by a Catholic Priest
Annotated Version
by Msgr Robert Hugh Benson
A PRIEST’S PROPHETIC VISION OF SOCIETAL AND MORAL DECLINE
Lord of the World is a riveting apocalyptic novel that foretold the future with frightening accuracy. Written in 1907 by Fr. Robert Hugh Benson, this prophetic book contains a dystopian vision that is perilously close to being realized fully today.
Though released over a century ago, the issues and themes Lord of the World explores are startlingly contemporary. Through his masterful writing, Benson transports readers to a disturbing political environment where religion is abolished, euthanasia is encouraged, and an all-powerful secular government rules with an iron fist. It is a world where humanity has lost its moral compass and individual freedoms are severely restricted.
Lord of the World is astonishing in the accuracy of its predictions, from the erosion of spirituality to the rise of anti-Catholic regimes. The pace of social and moral decline examined in Benson’s work has only accelerated in the decades since it was first published, making this landmark of Catholic literature as relevant today as it was upon publication.
This annotated edition provides readers with concise chapter-by-chapter summaries that include helpful elucidations of the text. By contextualizing Benson’s masterpiece, this edition serves to deepen the reader’s appreciation of the author’s immediate concerns at the dawn of the 20th century while grasping its continuing relevance to the beleaguered early decades of the 21st.
