Initiation

The fifth of Robert Hugh Benson's "mainstream" novels, Initiation from 1914 is a complex work. It is a study of a man's redemption, or initiation into his full humanity, through pain.

The novel explores the different types of pain with which people are afflicted — spiritual, psychological, and physical — none of it deserved, yet all of it leading to greater self-awareness and understanding of what it means to be human. Despite the grimness of the theme, the novel is both entertaining and profound.
