Lưu Trọng Lư

Died in 1991

Lưu Trọng Lư (1911-1991) was born in Quảng Bình province, into a family of scholars, and left his studies to live by his pen. He was one of the first to defend the new poetry in the quarrel that set, in the early thirties, regular verse of Chinese inspiration against free verse, and he spoke in it as much as a poet as a polemicist. After 1945, he directed the theatre at the Ministry of Culture. He died in Hanoi in 1991.
