Lascelles Abercrombie (/ˈæbərˌkrɒmbi, -ˌkrʌm-/; also known as the Georgian Laureate, linking him with the "Georgian poets"; 9 January 1881 – 27 October 1938) was a British poet and literary critic, one of the "Dymock poets".
He was born in Ashton upon Mersey, Sale, Cheshire and educated at Malvern College, and at Owens College.
Before the First World War, he lived for a time at Dymock in Gloucestershire, part of a community that included Rupert Brooke and Robert Frost. Edward Thomas visited. During these early years, he worked as a journalist, and he started his poetry writing. His first book, Interludes and Poems (1908), was followed by Mary and the Bramble (1910) and the poem Deborah, and later by Emblems of Love (1912) and Speculative Dialogues (1913). His critical works include An Essay Towards a Theory of Art (1922), and Poetry, Its Music and Meaning (1932). Collected Poems (1930) was followed by The Sale of St. Thomas (1931), a poetic drama.
