Description
A E Housman's poetry collection brings to life a poignant rural world, imbued with a sense of loss and nostalgia. The poems, written in simple rhythms, explore themes of love, doubt, and the beauty of the countryside. This revised edition, introduced by Nick Laird, includes updated notes and an afterword, and features a range of Housman's published works, as well as translations from classical literature. The collection includes A Shropshire Lad, first published in 1896, alongside Last Poems, published posthumously in 1922. The revised edition also features posthumous selections and translations from Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripedes, showcasing Housman's mastery of classical literature. Published by Penguin, a leading publisher of classic literature, this edition has been revised by Archie Burnett and includes an introduction and afterword by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors.
