Edward Verrall Lucas (1868–1938) was a versatile English writer, known for his essays, biographies, and travelogues, marked by wit, clarity, and a quintessentially Edwardian style. Lucas's literary career commenced as a journalist, and he quickly made his mark as a contributor to Punch, a satirical magazine, where he later served as assistant editor. His works cover a broad range of subjects, often focusing on the everyday lives of people, their customs, and the landscape they inhabit. One of his notable contributions to literature is 'Highways and Byways in Sussex' (1904), a textual journey through the charming English county of Sussex, brilliantly weaving history, folklore, and personal observations, offering readers a reflective and engaging guide to the area's rich cultural tapestry. A prolific author, Lucas wrote over 30 books and countless articles, showcasing an innate talent for capturing his era's essence with humor and grace. Not confined to any single genre, he embraced the role of biographer, e.g., in his admired life of Charles Lamb, and children's author, notably with his contributions to the Little Books on Great Masters series. Lucas's ability to evoke place and time, alongside his commitment to literary craftsmanship, ensures his works continue to be appreciated by both the casual reader and the literary scholar alike.
