This has a short introduction to Housman's life and work.Also notes on the text,an index of first lines and an index of titled poems.
Of course it gives ''A Shropshire Lad,but also' Last Poems','More Poems','Additional Poems' and 'Translations'. A good cheap introduction to this great poet.

The definitive corpus of the poems of a master of meditative despair.

This was a fairly decent assembly of collected poems by the renowned poet A.E Housman. The rhyme schemes were simple and the themes not overtly complex. It was good reading, and a fast one too, but I felt there was a detachment between when it was written and now. Overall, worth reading- but
3 stars.
