F. L. Lucas

F. L. Lucas

Frank Lawrence Lucas (1894 - 1967) was an English literary critic, essayist, poet, and Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. He is now best remembered for his scathing attacks on the poetry of T. S. Eliot, during the 1920s, and his book "Style" (1955), though students of Aristotle's "Poetics" will relish reading his "Tragedy" (1927, substantially revised in 1957).
