The Queen's Tragedy

Robert Hugh Benson AFSC KC*SG KGCHS (18 November 1871 – 19 October 1914) was an English Anglican priest who in 1903 was received into the Roman Catholic Church in which he was ordained priest in 1904. He was lauded in his own day as one of the leading figures in English literature, having written the notable novel Lord of the World (1907). THE QUEEN'S TRAGEDY is Robert Hugh Benson's third in a series of novels designed to tell the story of the English Reformation from the Catholic point of view. Benson handles a difficult subject with skill and compassion, succeeding in breaking through centuries of prejudgment and propaganda about Mary Tudor, one of the least popular of England's rulers..
