A.E.Housman:
An Introduction
As
its title suggests, this is a lecture which introduces its
audience to the life and work of the poet and classical scholar
A.E.Housman (1859-1931). Housman, whose book of poems entitled
A Shropshire Lad has never been out of print since
its first publication in 1896, was a fine poet whose emotional
life was deeply troubled, and whose story is well worth hearing.
