Description

Laurence Housman (1865-1959) was an English playwright.

He was born in Worcestershire. After education at local schools, he went to study art at the Lambert School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London.

He first worked as a book illustrator with London publishers, illustrating such works as Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market (1893) and Jane Barlow's The End of Elfintown (1894) in an intricate Art Nouveau style.

But he also wrote and published several volumes of poetry in the 1890s, and when his eyesight began to fail, he turned more and more to writing.

Housman's first success came with the novel An Englishwoman's Love-letters (1900), published anonymously.

He then turned to drama with Bethlehem (1902) and was to become best known and remembered as a playwright.
