Henry Stanley Bennett, FBA (15 January 1889 – 5 June 1972)[1] was an English literary historian.
[3] Bennett was educated initially at St Mark's College in Chelsea, and after graduation became a schoolmaster at a London elementary school.
After being invalided during the final stages of the Great War, he returned to England and gained admission to study at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
[2] Their son, Christopher S. Bennett, was a contemporary of the writer Simon Raven at King's College, Cambridge; he went into the Treasury, and disappeared (possibly intentionally, given a work dispute and his hosting of several parties before his departure) in September 1966 whilst on a walking tour of the Savoy Alps.
