Sinopse

Robert Hugh Benson (1871 - 1914) was the youngest son of the Archbishop of Canterbury. After college Benson was ordained as a priest in the Church of England. While on a trip to the Middle East Benson began doubting the Church of England and eventually joined the Community of the Resurrection. In 1903 he became a Roman Catholic. In 1904 he was ordained as a priest. Benson wrote science fiction, children?s books, historical fiction and devotional books. Dawn of All is the second science fiction book written by Benson. The story begins 'The first objects of which he became aware were his own hands clasped on his lap before him, and the cloth cuffs from which they emerged, and it was these latter that puzzled him. So engrossed was he that at first he could not pay attention to the strange sounds in the air about him, for these cuffs, though black, were marked at their upper edges with a purpled line such as prelates wear. He mechanically turned the backs of his hands upwards, but there was no ring on his finger. Then he lifted his eyes and looked. He was seated on some kind of raised chair beneath a canopy. A carpet ran down over a couple of steps beneath his feet, and beyond stood the backs of a company of ecclesiastics-secular priests in cotta, cassock, and biretta, with three or four bare-footed Franciscans and a couple of Benedictines.'
