F. L. Lucas
Frank Laurence Lucas (1894–1967) was an English classical scholar, literary critic, poet, novelist, playwright, political polemicist, Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and intelligence officer at Bletchley Park during World War II.
He is now best remembered for his scathing 1923 review of T. S. Eliot's ''The Waste Land'',〔Lucas, F. L., 'The Waste Land': a review in ''New Statesman'', 3 November 1923; reprinted in the ''Macmillan Casebook'' series and the ''Critical Heritage'' series. Some extracts: newstatesman.com (), shubow.com ()〕 and for his book ''Style'' (1955; revised 1962), an acclaimed guide to recognising and writing good prose.〔'Heavy Sentences', Joseph Epstein, The New Criterion, www.newcriterion.com/articles.cfm/Heavy-sentences-7053 ; 'The Art of Writing Well', Matthew Walther, ''New English Review'', www.newenglishreview.org/print.cfm?pg=custpage&frm=110481&sec_id=117345〕 His ''Tragedy in Relation to Aristotle's 'Poetics''' (1927, substantially revised in 1957) was for over fifty years a standard introduction.〔('Hogarth Press', University of Delaware Library Special Collections )〕 His most important contribution to scholarship was his four-volume ''Complete Works of John Webster'' (1927), the first collected edition of the Jacobean dramatist since that of Hazlitt the Younger (1857), itself an inferior copy of Dyce (1830).〔Lucas, F. L., ed., ''The Complete Works of John Webster'', London, 1927; vol.1, p.1〕 Eliot called Lucas "the perfect annotator";〔Eliot, T. S., 'John Marston' in ''Elizabethan Essays'', London, 1934〕 and subsequent Webster scholars have been indebted to him, notably the editors of the new Cambridge Webster (1995–2007).〔Gunby, David; Carnegie, David; Hammond, Antony; DelVecchio, Doreen; Jackson, MacDonald P.: editors of ''The Works of John Webster'' (3 vols, Cambridge, 1995–2007)〕
Lucas is also remembered for his anti-fascist campaign in the 1930s,〔'F. L. Lucas: Writer with Love of Liberty', ''The Times'' (London, 2 June 1967)〕〔Annan, Noel, ''Our Age: Portrait of a Generation'' (London, 1990)〕 and for his wartime work at Bletchley Park, for which he received the OBE.
