About this book

Artificial daylight fills an underground room beneath the Thames embankment as two priests listen to an elderly man's account of a transformed England. Robert Hugh Benson sets his 1907 novel in a future of hydraulic lifts, mechanised transport and closely regulated comfort. Father Percy Franklin questions Mr. Templeton about the political reforms and religious divisions behind this society. Their conversation connects changes in work, government and welfare with disputes about belief, giving the opening the form of a history lesson within an imagined world.

In a later scene, Mr. Francis speaks to Oliver Brand about Julian Felsenburgh with the intensity of religious devotion. Mabel waits in a crowded assembly for the precisely timed arrival of the President of Europe. The novel brings public ceremony and personal conviction into the same frame. Readers interested in religious science fiction can follow its treatment of political loyalty, worship and the individual's place within a powerful collective order.
