About the author
Born on January 15, 1831, William Benham was a British churchman, academic, and author. He studied at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, was ordained in the 1850s, and went on to build a career that combined teaching, preaching, and literary work.
Benham served at St Mark's College, Chelsea, later became connected with the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and was appointed rector of St Edmund the King and Martyr in Lombard Street, London. He was also known as an editor and historical writer, producing books on religious and literary subjects and helping to shape biographies and reference works for general readers.
He died on July 30, 1910. Reliable sources agree on his importance as a learned and active Anglican man of letters, though I could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked.
