Aprašymas
The first book to bring together A.E. Housman's poetry and classical scholarship, revealing the deep connections between the two. A Grecian Lad offers a study of classical allusion in A Shropshire Lad, and a full-length study of Housman's Latin elegy for Moses Jackson, including a new translation and commentary on this homoerotic poem's links to his wider verse and scholarly concerns. The book also provides an original version and close reading of Praefanda, Housman's notorious scholarly article on sexual themes, written in Latin. Further, it examines how Tom Stoppard's celebrated The Invention of Love grapples with the tensions in Housman's dual careers as poet and professor.
Housman has long been seen as a man divided-the emotional poet of A Shropshire Lad on one hand, and the austere Latin textual critic on the other. While he publicly downplayed the classical influences on his poetry, this book interrogates the subtle but intricate classicism woven throughout his work. By reading his verse alongside his scholarship, it uncovers a more integrated and complex figure, shedding new light on both his poetry and academic writings.
