Richard Benson

Richard Benson is an English life-writer, journalist and critic. His books The Farm (2005) and The Valley (2014) have been credited with challenging the boundaries of contemporary life-writing, and The Guardian has called him “one of Britain’s leading cultural commentators” for his writing about British society and popular culture. Born on a small family farm the Dearne Valley in South Yorkshire, he grew up on the Yorkshire Wolds and began his professional writing career as a news reporter for the Beverley Guardian, a weekly local newspaper, in 1989. He subsequently worked for The Face magazine, and became editor in 1995. Under his editorship the magazine achieved record sales, was shortlisted for the International Magazine of the Year award, and promoted many of the emerging artists and cultural movements that went on to become dominant in the late 1990s and 2000s.
