Benson, R. H. ( Robert Hugh Benson) (1871–1914), younger brother of A. C. and E. F. Benson (above), and like them a prolific writer. Much of his work consists of Catholic apologia: he wrote sensational apocalyptic novels (e.g. The Lord of the World, 1907), melodramatic historical novels (e.g. Come Rack! Come Rope!, 1912), and modern novels usually involving an impossible moral conundrum (e.g. The Average Man, 1913), and also published sermons, poems, etc.
