Laurence Housman (1865-1959)

Housman studied art at the Lambeth School of Art and the Royal College of Art. He had great success as an illustrator, but when his eyesight began to fail, he turned to writing books and plays. He wrote 80 books during his lifetime. He often seemed to fall afoul of the censors, though, for religious and political reasons. A committed socialist and pacifist, in 1907, he helped found the Men’s League for Women’s Suffrage. He was also an honorary male associate of the Women Writers’ Suffrage League. His works include:

  • Jump-to-Glory Jane, by Meredith
  • Goblin Market, by Christina Rossetti, 1893
  • The End of Elfintown, by Jane Barlow, 1894
  • The Sensitive Plant, 1898
  • The Blue Moon, 1904
  • Angels and Ministers, 1921
  • Little Plays of St Francis, 1922
  • Victoria Regina, 1937
  • The Unexpected Years, 1937 (autobiography)
  • A. E. H.: Some Poems, Some Letters and a Personal Memoir by His Brother, 1937
