A. E. Housman The following is a (fairly extensive) selection of Housman's poetry. Comments or suggestions to Martin Hardcastle, m.hardcastle@bristol.ac.uk . Before you ask me a question, please read this . There are some questions I won't answer: don't waste your time asking them. A complete online version of "A Shropshire Lad" now exists. Housman's introductory lecture as professor at University College, London is available. `Fragment of a Greek Tragedy' can be found here Some biographical information (short and in some cases misleading) is here (Bartleby) and here (BedfordStMartins) Here is a small list of frequently asked questions about Housman (frequently asked of me, that is). Go to my poetry page or to findpoetry.com Contents From "A Shropshire Lad." I. 1887 II. "Loveliest of trees, the cherry now" IV. Reveille ... XXII. R.L.S. From "A Shropshire Lad." I - 1887 II Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough, And stands about the woodland ride Wearing white for Eastertide. Now, of my three score years and ten, Twenty will not come again, And take from seventy springs a score, It only leaves me fifty more. And since to look at things in bloom Fifty springs are little room, About the woodlands I will go To see the cherry hung with snow. IV - REVEILLE Wake: the silver dusk returning Up the beach of darkness brims, And the ship of sunrise burning Strands upon the eastern rims. Wake: the vaulted shadow shatters, Trampled to the floor it spanned, And the tent of night in tatters Straws the sky-pavilioned land. Up, lad, up, 'tis late for lying: Hear the drums of morning play; Hark, the empty highways crying `Who'll beyond the hills away?' Towns and countries woo together, Forelands beacon, belfries call; Never lad that trod on leather Lived to feast his heart with all. Up, lad: thews that lie and cumber Sunlit pallets never thrive; Morns abed and daylight slumber Were not meant for man alive. Clay lies still, but blood's a rover; Breath's a ware that will not keep. Up, lad: when the journey's over There'll be time enough to sleep.

[Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map A.E. Housman Profile Alfred Edward Housman, classical scholar and poet; was born at Valley House, Fockbury near Bromsgrove in Worcestershire. His father was a solicitor and one of his younger brothers was the novelist and dramatist Laurence Housman . Alfred was educated at King Edward's School, Bromsgrove and St. John's College, Oxford where, to his shame and humiliation, he failed his final examinations. From 1882 to 1892 he worked at the Patent Office in London and, in his spare time, devoted himself to classical studies and to thereby establish himself as a scholar to regain his pride. lie was also writing some poetry during this period but it was his brilliant articles on the classics in scholarly journals which gained him a high reputation and led to his appointment as Professor of Latin at University College, London in 1892. He remained there until 1911 and became a respected and renowned scholar. An apparently rather dry and austere man (at least to those who did not know him well), he astounded his students and colleagues by the publication of his first collection of poems A Shropshire Lad (1896), astounded them because of the contrast between the romanticism of the poems and the outward severity of the man they knew as their Professor of Latin.

A. E. Housman: Frequently Asked Questions These are questions I am regularly asked. Q. Was Housman a homosexual? A. Almost certainly, yes, if by that you mean that he was capable of being in love with men. The love of his life seems to have been a male friend of his from Oxford, Moses Jackson, who was not a homosexual and may not even have been aware of this crush of Housman's. It's not clear whether Housman ever had sex with another man, or indeed with anyone at all (claims here that Housman travelled abroad to indulge his sexual tastes are speculative, as far as I'm aware). In those days biographies were more discreet, and Housman was a very private person, except in his poetry. `Because I liked you better' can be read in a new light if you bear this in mind. `Oh who is that young sinner' is known to be about the notorious Oscar Wilde trial. Q. Was Housman a war poet? A. Not in the sense you probably mean, despite the valiant attempts of some educators to claim this. `A Shropshire Lad' was published in 1896, and so has nothing to do with the First World War. Internal evidence in the `war poems' in `Last Poems' (1922) also suggests that they are not about that conflict. Of course, there were plenty of other colonial wars before then, and these, not WWI, provide the backdrop to Housman's writing. Q. What poets influenced Housman?

CATEGORIZED POETRY BY PROS In high school, I began collecting poetry in a battered notebook. As such, it reflected my somewhat juvenile tastesa tendency to rude humor, sarcasm, bawdy verse, and occasional lapses into sentimentality. I continued collecting, in a desultory fashion, to this day. Consider yourself warned. Remember that the "F" word will appear in war and love poetry, and that poets in the 1600's were as bawdy-minded as performers today. ADVICE ANIMALS CHILDREN DEATH ... WAR There's a fantastic collection of poetry at THE WONDERING MINSTRELS , which follows each poem with biographical or historical notes, or perhaps with an explanation of what the submitter likes about that piece.

A. E. Housman ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN , poet and pre-eminent classicist of his time, was born near Bromsgrove in Worcestershire in 1859. The eldest of seven children he entered Bromsgrove School at the age of eleven and, with a strong academic grounding there, won a scholarship to St John's College, Oxford in 1877. After gaining First Class Honours in Classical Moderations, he failed his 'Greats', the Final School, in 1881 and so left Oxford without a degree. After a brief time teaching at his old school he returned to Oxford for a term to take a pass degree and the following year took up employment in the Patent Office in London, where his great friend from Oxford days, Moses Jackson, was working. In 1892, on the strength of scholarly articles published in classical journals, Housman was appointed Professor of Latin at University College London. In 1896 his most famous book, A Shropshire Lad , was published and it has never been out of print since. The 63 spare nostalgic verses, born out of the troubles Housman suffered during his life, are set in a half-imaginary Shropshire, a 'land of lost content', and the heart-penetrating simplicity of its verse has given it an enduring popularity. Poem XL is typical of its mood: Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills

Home Seminars Intro. to WWI Poetry Wilfred Owen A.E. Housman: To an Athlete Dying Young The time you won your town the race We chaired you through the market-place; Man and boy stood cheering by, And home we brought you shoulder-high. To-day, the road all runners come, Shoulder high-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay And early though the laurel grows It whithers quicker than the rose. Eyes the shady night has shut Cannot see the record cut, And silence sounds no worse than cheers After earth has stopped the ears: Now you will not swell the rout of lads that wore their honours out, Runners whom renown outran And the name died before the man. So set, before its echos fade, The fleet foot on the sill of shade, And hold to the low lintel up The still-defended challenge-cup. And round that early-laurelled head Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead
