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.
Paperback, size 8.5" x 5.5", 312 pages
