Arthur Christopher Benson (1862–1925) was a notable English essayist, poet, and author, best known for his reflective and insightful essays. Born on April 24, 1862, into an intellectual family, he was the son of Edward White Benson, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Educated at Eton College and King's College, Cambridge, he excelled in literature and history, later becoming a fellow and tutor at Magdalene College, Cambridge. Benson is widely regarded for his contribution to English literature through various literary works, including a substantial body of essays, collected in volumes such as 'Essays' that delve into themes of aesthetics, philosophy, and the subtleties of everyday life.

Beyond his essays, Benson's literary oeuvre encompasses diaries, notable biographies, and was even involved in composing the words for the coronation anthem 'Land of Hope and Glory.' As a prolific writer, his works reflect the tastes and values of the Edwardian era, grappling with questions of morality and the human condition while advocating for introspection and the contemplation of beauty in the mundane.
