A Shropshire Lad and Other Poems: The Collected Poems of A. E. Housman Paperback - 2010
by A. E. Housman; Introduction by Nick Laird; Notes by Archie Burnett
A wonderful collection from one of England's best-loved poets
One of the most admired poets of his day, A. E. Housman wrote poems that conjure a potent and idyllic rural world imbued with a poignant sense of loss. Expressed in simple rhythms, they show a fine ear for the subtleties of meter and alliteration and touch on subjects ranging from religious doubt to intense nostalgia. This volume brings together A Shropshire Lad and Last Poems, along with many posthumous selections and three translations of extracts from Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides that display Housman's mastery of classical literature.
