Schweitzer Klassifikation
E. V. Lucas (Edward Verrall Lucas) (1868-1938) was a prolific English writer, essayist, and publisher, known for his wit, versatility, and contributions to British literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Eltham, Kent, Lucas was educated at various schools before beginning his career in journalism and publishing. One of Lucas's notable achievements was his work at the publishing house Methuen & Co., where he played a significant role in the literary world, helping to bring important works to the public. He was also a close associate of many literary figures of his time, including J. M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, and Hilaire Belloc. Beyond his own writings, Lucas was a respected editor and anthologist, compiling various collections of essays and poetry that highlighted the literary tastes of his era. He had a deep appreciation for the works of earlier English writers, and his efforts helped preserve and promote their legacies. Throughout his life, Lucas remained a popular and respected figure in British literary circles. His works continue to be appreciated for their wit, elegance, and the warmth with which they capture the essence of human experience.
