Publisher's Synopsis
The House of Quiet: An Autobiography is a memoir written by Arthur Christopher Benson, originally published in 1907. In this book, Benson reflects on his life and career as an author, educator, and member of the English literary community. He discusses his childhood, his education at Cambridge University, his experiences as a schoolmaster, and his relationships with other writers and intellectuals of his time, including Henry James, E.M. Forster, and Oscar Wilde. Benson also writes about his struggles with depression and his search for spiritual meaning, which led him to explore various forms of mysticism and esotericism. The House of Quiet is a deeply introspective and personal work that offers a unique perspective on the intellectual and cultural landscape of early 20th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
