About this book
A brother's memories give Robert Hugh Benson a place among family conversations, familiar rooms and religious arguments. Arthur Christopher Benson writes this memoir to preserve the qualities of Hugh's company: his energy, humour, affection and occasional wilfulness. The opening takes the reader along a rain-soaked country road to Hare Street, where an old brick house and its garden receive close attention. Such domestic scenes establish the personal perspective of a family member remembering a priest and writer.
The account covers childhood, schooling, clerical life and Hugh's move from the Church of England to the Roman Catholic Church. In the middle excerpt, Benson considers his brother's search for certainty alongside questions of religious freedom and authority. He also recalls how their companionship deepened at Cambridge.
