(Robert Hugh) Benson, Robert-Hugh The Dawn of All "The Dawn of All" by Robert Hugh Benson is a speculative fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the potential future of humanity through a parable that contrasts the outcomes of modern thought against ancient religious traditions. The central character, Monsignor Masterman, is introduced in a state of confusion and amnesia, awakening in a strange world where he has lost touch with his identity, exposing the conflict between faith and contemporary ideas. At the start of the narrative, Monsignor Masterman gradually regains awareness while lying in an unfamiliar setting, slowly piecing together his surroundings and memories. As he reflects on his fragmented thoughts, he realizes he has been thrust into a future society that is radically different from his previous life, notably seeing elements like state-supported Catholicism and advanced technology. Through vivid descriptions of his environment and encounters with mysterious characters, including priests and government officials, the reader witnesses his struggle to understand this new world, setting the stage for deeper explorations of faith, identity, and societal change amidst the backdrop of a seemingly Christian-dominated civilization.
