Synopsis

The Schoolmaster was originally published at the turn of the 20th century, when the world was a very different place, and yet Benson's strikingly honest words about his chosen profession are, in the main, still relevant today. Benson was born at Wellington College, educated at Eton and Cambridge and spent his life and career at both. He also had a very successful career outside of education; he was a prolific writer, the editor of Queen Victoria's letters, lyricist and prolific diary writer.
