About the Author

A. E. Housman (1859-1936) was born in the English countryside and felt affection for it all his life. He worked as a clerk before becoming an esteemed Latin scholar, but it was the publication of this, his first book of poems, that would bring him lasting fame.

Reviews

Here is something special. To mark the 100th anniversary of the publication of Housman's beloved collection, Trafalgar Square has buttressed the text with beautiful wood engravings by Agnes Miller Parker and an introduction by scholar Ian Rogerson. All that in a hardcover for the very reasonable price of $9.95 makes this a steal.
