Product Information
Few volumes of poetry in the English language have enjoyed as much success with both literary connoisseurs and the general reader as A. E. Housman's A Shropshire Lad, first published in 1896. Scholars and critics have seen in these timeless poems an elegance of taste and perfection of form and feeling comparable to the greatest of the classic. Yet their simple language, strong musical cadences and direct emotional appeal have won these works a wide audience among general readers as well.This finely produced volume, reprinted from an authoritative edition of A Shropshire Lad, contains all 63 original poems along with a new Index of First Lines and a brief new section of Notes to the Text. Here are poems that deal poignantly with the changing climate of friendship, the fading of youth, the vanity of dreams - poems that are among the most read, shared, and quoted in our language.Product Identifiers

A Joy to Read
An outstanding read. The poetry of Housman has no rival and the verse from the beginning to the end is captivating. There are two gems, loveliest of trees and 1887. The poetry reflects long lost middle England coming to life. A joy to readVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

For a Shropshire Lass
Those blue, remembered hills... and Clun and Clungunford. My sister in law had married a Shropshire Lad but had never read A E Housman. I've had a well thumbed copy for years. She lives in Highley too so I have bought this volume for her and hope she has a lot of pleasure dipping into and earlier ShropshireVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
