With someone/ from someone

Phantasmagoria received generally positive to mixed reviews. The violent content drew a great deal of attention, with Lee S. Isgur of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefferies_Group, a global investment bank that followed the computer game industry, wrote, "It's probably one of the bloodiest games ever."

I'd like to know whether I can replace "with" with "from" and how "he" can be omitted before "wrote" even though the subject of the main clause is "Phantasmagoria."

Thank you in advance for your help.

I would phrase it like this "Phantasmagoria received generally positive to mixed reviews and its violent content drew a great deal of attention. Lee S. "" Does that help at all?

  • It removes the trouble of "with" and "from" but I agree it's a difficult one to phrase.

Thank you, ImDarkerThanYou, for your reply. Emotion: smile
But I don't want you to drop "with" if the word wasn't used incorrectly.

I'm afraid it was used incorrectly. You could replace it with "from" but I think it's still a little unclear that way. Of course it's your writing and you're free to express yourself however you like!
