Housman, Alfred Edward
View through CrossRef
Alfred Edward (A. E.) Housman (1859–1936) was a poet and professor of Classics, well‐known for his most famous volume of poetry,
A Shropshire Lad
, and highly regarded for his textual editions of the Latin poet Manilius. While Housman's poetry is often perceived as simple and therefore minor, scholars have defended it on its own merits. Scholars also often use Housman's biography – his homosexuality, his reclusiveness, his cynicism – as keys to interpret his poetry.
