Mixing such seemingly incongruous elements as social satire,
near-slapstick, and obsession with death, "A Winnowing," first
published in 1910, is the first of Robert Hugh Benson's "mainstream
novels." An undeservedly overlooked work today, the novel flays
Edwardian society in terms that bring to mind the comedy of P. G.
Wodehouse, and the black humor of Evelyn Waugh. The influence of "A
Winnowing" is evident in Evelyn Waugh's take on the funeral
industry in Southern California ("The Loved One: An Anglo-American
Tragedy"). This edition features a foreword by Benson scholar
Michael D. Greaney.
