Evocative of 'the blue remembered hills' of his youth, Alfred
Edward Housman's A Shropshire Lad is a collection of sixty-three
poems of extraordinary beauty and feeling. Set in a semi-imaginary
pastoral Shropshire, Housman's verse considers the helplessness of
man, the fragility of life and the terrible effects of war, against
the background of an achingly beautiful countryside. Inspirational
for generations of readers, A Shropshire Lad, with its sweeping
themes of youth and love, has found its way into the canon of
English folksong and has been set to music by composers George
Butterworth, John Ireland and Ralph Vaughan Williams. This
beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition of A. E. Housman's
A Shropshire Lad features the superb wood engravings of the
Vorticist artist and illustrator Agnes Miller Parker, and is
accompanied by an afterword by Dr David Butterfield, Editor of the
Housman Society Journal. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the
Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift
editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's
Library are books to love and treasure.
