Wife

Quote_1.png
Laurence Housman
"But it has also enabled me to find my feet as a lecturer and a reader of my own plays to audiences who like to hear them; and that experience of immediate appreciation gives greater pleasure and more stimulus towards further activity than even the most laudatory of reviews."

Laurence Housman

Laurence Housman
"I was just then going through a healthy reaction from the orthodoxy of my youth; religion had become for me not so much a possession as an obsession, which I was trying to throw off, and this iconoclastic tale of an imaginary tribe was the result."

Books

Quote_1.png
Laurence Housman

Death

Quote_1.png
Laurence Housman
"On that other novels followed: but I still wrote fairy tales and dreamy poems of another world."

Poems

Quote_1.png
Laurence Housman
"Suicide is possible, but not probable; hanging, I trust, is even more unlikely; for I hope that, by the time I die, my countrymen will have become civilised enough to abolish capital punishment."
