Lucia in London. Mapp and Lucia

Серия: "Mapp and Lucia"

Lucia in London and Mapp and Lucia continue the adventures of E. F. Benson's most famous and irrepressible characters--Mrs. Lucia Lucas and Miss Elizabeth Mapp--and bring them into hilarious conflict. Both women are used to dominating their respective villages in southern England, and when one intrudes on the other's territory, war ensues. Lucia is the more deadly of the two, with lofty morals, pretentious tastes, and delusions of grandeur, while Mapp is younger, more forceful, and able to terrify her opponents into submission. Their constant skirmishes enliven the plots of Benson's maliciously witty comedies.

Benson, E.F.

▪ British writer
in full  Edward Frederic Benson  
born July 24, 1867, Wellington College, Berkshire, Eng.
died Feb. 29, 1940, London

      writer of fiction, reminiscences, and biographies, of which the best remembered are his arch, satirical novels and his urbane autobiographical studies of Edwardian and Georgian society.

      The son of E.W. Benson, an archbishop of Canterbury (1883–96), the young Benson was educated at Marlborough School and at King's College, Cambridge. After graduation he worked from 1892 to 1895 in Athens for the British School of Archaeology and later in Egypt for the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies. In 1893 he published Dodo, a novel that attracted wide attention. It was followed by a number of other successful novels—such as Mrs. Ames (1912), Queen Lucia (1920), Miss Mapp (1922), and Lucia in London (1927)—and books on a wide range of subjects, totaling nearly 100. Among them were biographies of Queen Victoria, William Gladstone, and William II of Germany. In 1938 he was made an honorary fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Benson's reminiscences include As We Were (1930), As We Are (1932), and Final Edition (1940).
