The Authenticity Of Benson's Historical Novels, Estelle T. Bell
The Authenticity Of Benson's Historical Novels, Estelle T. Bell
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the historical accuracy of Robert Hugh Benson's historical novels "The King's Achievement," "Come Rack! Come Rope!," and "By What Authority," arguing that despite their fictional romantic elements, these novels authentically portray the historical relationship between the English and Catholic Churches during the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Bell opens by distinguishing the aims of the historian from those of the novelist, then situates Benson biographically as a convert from Anglicanism to Catholicism whose religious sensibility shaped his literary work.
Drawing on the "Lingard-Belloc History of England" as an authoritative historical source, the thesis traces the …
