Robert Hugh Benson
Robert Hugh Benson (18.11.1871 - 19.09.1914) war ein englischer Priester und Schriftsteller. Er ist der vierte und jüngste Sohn Edward White Bensons, Kanzler der Kathedrale von Lincoln und später Erzbischof von Canterbury.
Benson studierte Theologie und Altphilologie am Trinity College in Cambridge. Im Jahre 1894 wurde er Diakon, 1895 wurde er von seinem Vater zum Priester der Kirche von England geweiht.
Seine religiösen Zweifel an der Autorität der anglikanischen Kirche jedoch führten zur Hinwendung zum katholischen Glauben. Er trat am 11. September 1903 in die römisch-katholische Kirche ein und wurde schließlich in Rom zum Priester geweiht.
1907 schrieb er sein bekanntestes Werk, den Endzeitroman »Lord of the World« (»Der Herr der Welt«), welcher viele Auflagen und Übersetzungen erfuhr und als wichtiger Vorläufer der großen dystopischen Romane des 20. Jahrhunderts gilt.
Robert Hugh Benson erlag einem Herzinfarkt infolge einer Lungenentzündung.

"Lord of the World" is a dystopian novel which depicts a future where religion is scorned, a one-world government has been established and euthanasia is normal. The Catholic Church can do nothing as most of the world becomes Humanistic or Pantheistic.
The story follows Percy Franklin, a modest priest, who hastily becomes the Pope, and Julian Felsenburgh, a powerfully magnetic man who becomes ruler of the world.
"Lord of the World," first published in 1907, is unforgettable. "I advise you to read it." -Pope Francis
Robert Hugh Benson was an Anglican pastor turned Catholic priest, and a highly prolific writer. Lord of the World is among his great works, and is today as vital as it was when it was first published.
