After Oxford, Jackson got a job as a clerk in the Patent Office in London and arranged a job there for Housman as well.

Alfred Edward Housman (; 26 March 1859 – 30 April 1936 ), usually known as A. E. Housman, was an English classical scholar and poet, best known to the general public for his cycle of poems A Shropshire Lad.

The eldest of seven children, Housman was born at Valley House in Fockbury, a hamlet on the outskirts of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire, to Sarah Jane ( née Williams, married 17 Jun 1858 in Woodchester, Gloucester ) and Edward Housman ( whose family came from Lancaster ), and was baptized on 24 Apr 1859 at Christ Church, in Catshill.

Housman wrote most of them while living in Highgate, London, before ever visiting that part of Shropshire ( about thirty miles from his home ), which he presented in an idealised pastoral light, as his ' land of lost content '.

Among other composers who set Housman songs were John Ireland ( song cycle, Land of Lost Content ), Michael Head ( e. g. ' Ludlow Fair '), Graham Peel ( a famous version of ' In Summertime on Bredon '), Ian Venables ( Songs of Eternity and Sorrow ), and the American Samuel Barber ( e. g. ' With rue my heart is laden ').

Housman also wrote children's fairy tales such as A Farm in Fairyland ( 1894 ) and fantasy stories with Christian undertones for adults, such as All-Fellows ( 1896 ), The Cloak of Friendship ( 1905 ), and Gods and Their Makers ( 1897 ).

Set in a half-imaginary pastoral Shropshire, " the land of lost content " ( in fact Housman wrote most of the poems before visiting the county ), the poems explore the fleetingness of love and decay of youth in a spare, uncomplicated style which many critics of the time found out-of-date as compared to the exuberance of some Romantic poets.

The Long Mynd features in literature in the poetry of A. E. Housman, the novels of Mary Webb ( in particular Gone To Earth ), and Malcolm Saville's Lone Pine series for children.

The production opened on November 15, 2007 at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, with an all-Canadian cast, except for Monica West ( Baby Housman ), Britta Lazenga ( Penny ) and Al Sapienza ( Jake Housman ).

" The poets to whom he returned most often in his publications were Tennyson ( 1930, 1932, 1947, 1957 ) and Housman ( 1926, 1933, 1936, 1960 ), but he ranged widely over Classical, European and English literature.

He achieved success in his own day as a composer of choral works such as The Forsaken Merman ( 1895 ), Intimations of Immortality ( which he conducted at Leeds Festival in 1907 ), and The Passion of Christ ( 1914 ) but is now chiefly remembered for his song cycles such as Maud ( after Tennyson, 1898 ) and A Shropshire Lad ( the first known setting of A. E. Housman, 1904 ).

Similarly, he wrote that Laurence Housman had a `` too deliberate manner '' as well as a lack of `` inevitable felicity in diction ''.

The amphisbaena has been referred to by the poets, such as Nicander, John Milton, Alexander Pope, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and A. E. Housman, and the amphisbaena as a mythological and legendary creature has been referenced by Lucan, Pliny the Elder, Isidore of Seville, and Thomas Browne, the last of whom debunked its existence.

# REDIRECT A. E. Housman

Housman was counted one of the foremost classicists of his age, and has been ranked as one of the greatest scholars of all time.

Housman's brother Laurence Housman and sister Clemence Housman also became writers.

Housman was educated first at King Edward's School, Birmingham, then Bromsgrove School, where he acquired a strong academic grounding and won prizes for his poetry.

Although by nature rather withdrawn, Housman formed strong friendships with two roommates, Moses Jackson and A. W. Pollard.

Housman obtained a first in classical Moderations in 1879, but his immersion in textual analysis, particularly with Propertius, led him to neglect ancient history and philosophy, which formed part of the Greats curriculum, and thus he failed to obtain a degree.

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.

The compilation work was undertaken by a number of interested crystallographers in the Department of Mineralogy of the University Museum at Oxford.

Editors for Volumes 1, and 2, were M. W. Porter and the late R. C. Spiller, both of Oxford University.

Now, not only are there considerably more laity as students and professors at Oxford, but there are also numerous houses of religious orders existing in respectable and friendly relations with the non-Catholic members of the University.
