A.E. Housman: A Shropshire Lad Introduction A Shropshire Lad A.E. Housman Literary Contexts ... Shropshire: A Map A Map of Shropshire Return to Content Introduction A.E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad was first published in 1896. Through the 63 poems which make up the sequence Housman memorialises the Shropshire of the ploughman or soldier, living and loving in a county which he describes as the "land of lost content". With its "blue remembered hills", Housman's Shropshire is the Shropshire of Ludlow, the Wrekin and Shrewsbury, Wenlock Edge and the Marches. But it is also the Shropshire of theimagination and the heart, a rural idyll to which the "Shropshire Lad" (whether in London or overseas) longs to return, but cannot. The lyrics, in their mixture of regret, longing, nostalgia and understated and ironic pessimism, have become cultural icons of one version of modern Englishness - rural, provincial and understated in character - which has survived into the 1990s. A Shropshire Lad was slow in gaining recognition in the Edwardian age, although it was known and loved by a generation of intelletuals and writers such as E.M. Forster and his Cambridge contemporaries. In the years after the First World War, it became immensely popular: with the death of so many Shropshire lads in Flanders and on the Somme Housman's verse spoke for a whole generation of young men, slaughtered in the 1914-18 War. The popularity of A Shropshire Lad was further increased by the various musical settings of some of the verse, by composers such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, George Butterworth, John Ireland and Ivor Guerney, all of whom were involved in the "English Renaissance" in twentieth century British music, and responded to Housman's verse for its poetic expression of that form of Englishness.

Holden, Alan W., and J. Roy Birch A. E. Housman: A Reassessment St. Martin's Press, 1999, 256 pp., ISBN 0-312-22318-8, $65.00 Description: This collection of essays was conceived as part of the centenary celebrations of the first publication in 1896 of one of the most popular collections of poetry ever written A Shropshire Lad a collection never out of print in a hundred years. Yet Housman was a recluse, an austere classicist of great renown who devoted his academic life to the correction of ancient texts. He filled his poems with the lives, loves, and deaths of simple country people, but lived his own life in stoic acceptance of his loveless, arid existence. Why his life should have been so intentionally empty of emotion raises questions about Housman's own sexuality and the relationship he had with his friend Moses Jackson and Jackson's brother Afalbert. Housman's poetry, like his life, is deceptively simple: this volume shows some of the complex currents below the surface. Contents: Introduction * A. E Housman's "Level Tones", Archie Burnett * The Critical Reception of A Shropshire Lad Benjamin F. Fisher * The Land of Lost Content, Keith Jebb * Tacit

My object in inquiring is to know. But if you happen to be deaf and dumb And do not understand a word I say, Then wave your hand, to signify as much. ALCMAEON: I journeyed hither a Boeotian road. CHORUS: Sailing on horseback, or with feet for oars? ALCMAEON: Plying with speed my partnership of legs. CHORUS: Beneath a shining or a rainy Zeus? ALCMAEON: Mud's sister, not himself, adorns my shoes. CHORUS: To learn your name would not displease me much. ALCMAEON: Not all that men desire do they obtain. CHORUS: Might I then hear at what thy presence shoots. ALCMAEON: A shepherd's questioned mouth informed me that CHORUS: What? for I know not yet what you will say. ALCMAEON: Nor will you ever, if you interrupt. CHORUS: Proceed, and I will hold my speechless tongue. ALCMAEON: This house was Eriphyle's, no one else's.

76. Victorian Poetry, Vol. 36, No. 3, Burnett, A. E. Housman Poetical Emendations and Improvisations by AE housman. Archie Burnett. Notes. 1Richard Perceval Graves, AE housman The ScholarPoet (Oxford Oxford Univ. http://vp.engl.wvu.edu/Fall98/burnett.htm

Volume 36, no. 3, Fall 1998 Poetical Emendations and Improvisations by A. E. Housman Archie Burnett During the preparation of the Oxford English Texts edition of The Poems of A. E. Housman (Oxford: Oxford Univ. Press, 1997) two concerns were prominent: to print all of the poems, including the light verse; and, in the commentary, to document as fully as possible the complex, enriching relationship between Housman and other writers. Even full texts have margins, however, and in this case eight texts remain on them: not substantial enough to qualify in their own right as poems (even as short ones), but revealing a scholar-poet’s characteristically lively response to other texts. Of the eight, three have not been published before. The first three differ from the others in that they have the force of revision or adaptation rather than of parody. The first, reported by Richard Perceval Graves, involves a rewriting of Kipling’s poem Heriot’s Ford in Songs from Books In his copy Housman cancelled the title and the last six verses, and in the margins of the first two verses he replaced “your might” with “the night,” and “judgment follows” with “darkness gathers”: “What’s that that hirples at my side?”

79. Seth Benardete’s Essay On A.E. Housman After a long discussion on, among other things, an appropriate subject for him towrite about, he decided on a short essay on the classical scholar AE housman. http://www.benardete-memorial.org/other_files/housman.html

A Note on Seth Benardete and greekworks.com by Stelios Vasilakis When we decided to launch greekworks.com, one of the very first people we approached for our inaugural issue was Seth Benardete. After a long discussion on, among other things, an appropriate subject for him to write about, he decided on a short essay on the classical scholar A. E. Housman. Sadly, this piece appears to be the last one he wrote before his death on November 14, 2001. We agreed on the subject because of all the recent hype that had surrounded Tom Stoppard’s The Invention of Love, but Benardete refused to relate his understanding of Housman to Stoppard’s depiction, which he considered superficial and misconceived. After he wrote the article, we talked about getting together to go over certain points, but it never happened, and the essay remains as it was given to me in early August. Short as it might be, it begins to articulate brilliantly the image of Housman the poet and Housman the classical scholar. Seth Benardete: In Memoriam by Michael Davis Seth Benardete died at the age of 71 on November 14 of this year. With characteristic attention to the little things that upon deeper reflection open up into big things, he wrote with unsurpassed breadth and depth on Homer, Hesiod, Pindar, Herodotus, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Aristotle, Cicero, Horace, Apuleius, and 20 Platonic dialogues. The short piece on A.E. Housman that follows may be the last thing that he wrote before his death.
