The Poems of A. E. Housman

The Poems of A. E. Housman

Archie Burnett
3.6/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This is a complete edition of A. E. Housman's poetry, which aims to reveal the shaping processes of his poetic thought. To the major poetry of The Collected Poems it adds a substantial body of light verse and juvenilia, some of it printed, or collected, for the first time; and it revises the texts - particularly the posthumously published poems and notebook fragments - in the light of a comprehensive survey of manuscript and printed sources, recording all textual variants. As well as charting his compositional practices, the edition illuminates the many sources, from biblical and classical to contemporary, which influenced Housman - consciously or unconsciously - in his choice of ideas, images, and phraseology. Drawing on the poet's two commonplace books, works he is known to have read, and volumes from his library, the editor's commentary aims to trace the remarkable range of his echoes and allusions. The introduction and commentary also cover dating and other textual matters, information on persons, places, and historical context, and Housman's linguistic usage.
