The Letters of A. E. Housman is a scholarly edition of over 2200
letters. (The previous edition, edited by Henry Maas, contained
just over 880.) The letters cover the whole range of Housman's
daily activities, whether he writes as poet, Professor of Latin,
son, brother, uncle, friend, or citizen. Thus they allow the
fullest possible revelation of a man whose reserve was legendary.
He emerges as a more amiable, more sociable, more generous, more
painstaking, and more complex person than has previously been
realized. In most cases the source of the text is a manuscript, and
this has resulted in a text that is more accurate and more complete
than any previously available. Accompanying the text are notes
covering persons and places, poetry, classical scholarship,
publishing history, and literary allusion and echo.
