Marionettes

Frank Laurence Lucas (1894–1967) was a renowned English author, poet and classicist, often remembered for his polemical attacks on key modernist figures such as T. S. Eliot, as well as his meticulous scholarship in the production of texts such as the four-volume Complete Works of John Webster. Originally published in 1930, Marionettes is a collection of Lucas' verse. It is notable for exhibiting a clear and economical style that Lucas regarded as being absent in much of the avant-garde literature produced by his contemporaries. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in twentieth-century English literature.
