The fourth of Robert Hugh Benson's "mainstream" novels, "An Average
Man," first published in 1913, is a far from average production.
The novel may well be Benson's finest achievement, ripping to
shreds the assumptions on which Edwardian upper class society
believed civilization itself was built. Worldly success destroys
one "average man," while it presents another, afflicted with
seemingly endless and crushing defeats, with the opportunity of
practicing virtue of a heroic stature. This edition features a
foreword by Benson scholar Michael D. Greaney.
