Sinossi

In "The Collected Works of E. F. Benson," readers are invited into the intricate literary tapestry woven by one of the most prolific writers of the early 20th century. This anthology showcases Benson's deft hand at blending biting social commentary with rich character studies across various genres, including novels, short stories, and essays. Characterized by his keen wit and a penchant for the supernatural, Benson's narratives often reflect the shifting social mores of post-Victorian England, capturing the essence of a society in flux, while his unique use of dialogue brings his characters vividly to life amidst the subtle interplay of humor and pathos. E. F. Benson, a celebrated figure who belonged to a prominent literary family, had diverse literary experiences and personal explorations that shaped his work. His upbringing in the ecclesiastical sphere and his tenure at Cambridge University endowed him with a rich intellectual perspective, influencing his incisive explorations of human behavior and relationships. Benson's social circle included some of the most notable figures of his time, including authors and artists, which further enriched his understanding of creative expression and societal expectations. For those who appreciate historical fiction infused with a touch of the uncanny and sharp societal observations, "The Collected Works of E. F. Benson" is an indispensable addition to any literary collection. It not only showcases the breadth of Benson's literary talent but also serves as a mirror reflecting the complexities of human nature and social dynamics during a transformative era.

    'I’d been having a hard time and this book was the first time I’ve laughed out loud for bloody ages' Reader review 
    Three women who have lost themselves and one who wants to be lost spend a life-changing weekend at a wild retreat on Bodmin Moor. 
    Talking about feelings is Emma’s idea of hell. Annoyingly, she’s bottling up a lot of them. According to her husband, she’s been in a bad mood for the last five years. 
    But Emma needs to open up to help her struggling daughter. The family therapist suggests a wellness retreat, so she’s picked the maddest one she could find. 
    Which is how she has found herself on Bodmin Moor with two strangers and a retreat leader called Clover urging her to get in touch with her ‘dark feminine divine’. 
    But Clover doesn’t know just how much Emma is hurting, and the more she pushes, the more Emma resists. Can she finally accept the anger she feels, and what will happen when she finally lets it all out? 
    Relatable, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Middle Rage is a rallying cry for women everywhere.
