Acknowledged as one of the foremost classicists of his age, this is a smart copy of a biographical sketch of the life of Alfred Edward Housman (1859-1936), including a  bibliography of his works. In his will, he made it known he did not wish for his writings to be reproduced in any collected form, so this book serves as a key pathway to access those works.
