The House of Quiet is an autobiography written by Arthur Christopher Benson, an English essayist and poet. The book is a personal account of Benson's life, covering his childhood, family, education, career, and personal relationships. The title refers to a house that Benson lived in during his later years, which he describes as a place of peace and reflection. The book begins with Benson's childhood, growing up as the son of a bishop in a large family. He describes his education at Eton and Cambridge, and his eventual career as a writer and teacher. Benson's personal life is also explored, including his relationships with his siblings and his struggles with his own sexuality. Throughout the book, Benson reflects on his own beliefs and values, particularly his Christian faith. He also discusses his interest in literature and the arts, and his friendships with other writers such as E.M. Forster and H.G. Wells. The House of Quiet is a deeply personal and introspective work, offering a unique insight into the life of one of England's most notable literary figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
