Henry Stanley Bennett

Henry Stanley Bennett, FBA (1889-1972) was an English literary historian.^[1] Known as Stanley Bennett, publishing as H. S. Bennett, Bennett was an authority on mediaeval England, publishing Life on the English Manor in 1937, and subsequently writing extensively on literature of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

In 1920 he married Joan Frankau.^[1] Their son, Christopher S. Bennett, was a King's College, Oxford contemporary of the writer Simon Raven; he went into the Treasury, and disappeared (possibly intentionally, given a work dispute and his hosting of several parties prior to his departure) in September 1966 whilst on a walking tour of the Savoy Alps.^[2]
