5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Biography, September 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A.E. Housman: The Scholar Poet (Hardcover)
A spuperb bio of the scholar poet. The structure is interesting. First, the author presents a chronological look at Housman's life with some salient facts, emphasizing the most important influences in his life. The latter part of the book is devoted to closer scrutiny of the different aspects of his work and personal affairs taken separately: classical studies, family relationships, friendships, etc.

I read this in preparation for seeing the new Tom Stoppard play, " Invention of Love " which deals with Housman's somewhat tortured, but extremely productive life. Glad that I did. The book stands by itself as top biography.
