from
Wikipedia
After Oxford, Jackson got a job as a clerk in the Patent Office in London and arranged a job there for Housman as well.
They shared a flat with Jackson's brother Adalbert until 1885 when Housman moved to lodgings of his own.
When Jackson returned briefly to England in 1889 to marry, Housman was not invited to the wedding and knew nothing about it until the couple had left the country.
Housman continued pursuing classical studies independently and published scholarly articles on such authors as Horace, Propertius, Ovid, Aeschylus, Euripides and Sophocles.
He gradually acquired such a high reputation that in 1892 he was offered the professorship of Latin at University College London, which he accepted.
Many years later, the UCL academic staff common room was dedicated to his memory as the Housman Room.
