"Housman’s singular vision seized hold of the English imagination, inspiring not just a literary following but a generation of composers, like George Butterworth and Ralph Vaughan Williams, who sought to do musically what Housman had done with verse: to create a new and authentically English kind of song."
—The New Yorker
Housman's elegant, resonant poems have been popular for over a century. This volume constitutes the authorized canon of A.E. Housman's verse as it was established in 1939, three years after his death. It contains A Shropshire Lad, Last Poems, More Poems, the Additional Poems, and the three translations from A.W. Pollard's anthology, Odes from the Greek Dramatists.
