A Winnowing
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.
