	A Shropshire Lad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Shropshire Lad is a cycle of sixty-three poems by the English poet Alfred Edward Housman.
		A Shropshire Lad was first published in 1896 at Housman's own expense after several publishers had turned it down, much to the surprise of his colleagues and students.
		Housman was surprised by the success of A Shropshire Lad because it, like all his poetry, is imbued with a deep pessimism and an obsession with death, with no place for the consolations of religion.

	Poets.org - Poetry, Poems, Bios & More - A. E. Housman
		Alfred Edward Housman was born in Fockbury, Worcestershire, England, on March 26, 1859, the eldest of seven children.
		The majority of the poems in A Shropshire Lad, his cycle of 63 poems, were written after the death of Adalbert Jackson, Housman's friend and companion, in 1892.
		While A Shropshire Lad was slow to gain in popularity, the advent of war, first in the Boer War and then in World War I, gave the book widespread appeal due to its nostalgic depiction of brave English soldiers.

	A. E. Housman - A SHROPSHIRE LAD
		Up, lad, up, 'tis late for lying: Hear the drums of morning play; Hark, the empty highways crying "Who'll beyond the hills away?" Towns and countries woo together, Forelands beacon, belfries call; Never lad that trod on leather Lived to feast his heart with all.
		Up, lad: thews that lie and cumber Sunlit pallets never thrive; Morns abed and daylight slumber Were not meant for man alive.
		XXIII The lads in their hundreds to Ludlow come in for the fair, There's men from the barn and the forge and the mill and the fold, The lads for the girls and the lads for the liquor are there, And there with the rest are the lads that will never be old.

	A Shropshire Lad (1) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The method of the poems in A Shropshire Lad illustrates better than any theory how poetry may assume the attire of reality, and yet in speech of the simplest, become in spirit the sheer quality of loveliness.
		The “lads” of Ludlow are so human to him, the hawthorn and broom on the Severn shores are so fragrant with associations, he cannot help but compose under a kind of imaginative wizardry of exultation, even when the immediate subject is grim or grotesque.
		For some it may radiate from the Shropshire life he so finely etches; for others, in the vivid artistic simplicity and unity of values, through which Shropshire lads and landscapes are presented.

	A True Shropshire Poet - Mary Webb
		In Shropshire, a quintessentially English county, this mingling of the English and Welsh over the centuries has produced a county rich in folklore clearly influenced by the Celts of Wales.
		His collection of poems A Shropshire Lad was a popular work which painted a picture of a rural idyll which many still seek.
		However Housman was not from Shropshire and his poems lack the real feel of someone who not only knows Shropshire but loves and understands the true nature of this county.

	A.E. Housman (1859-1936)
		A Shropshire Lad is a cycle of poems which tells of the central character, Terence Hearsay, who goes to live in London, in exile as it were from his native county.
		One of the great ironies about this work, for A Shropshire Lad is arguably the county's best known literary testament, is that a number of poems were written before Housman had actually set foot in Shropshire - hence some topographical anomalies.
		A Shropshire Lad can be found on the site of Project Bartleby at Columbia University.

	[minstrels] A Shropshire Lad, XXXVI -- A. E. Housman
		A brief (and slightly dated) biographical note, from Louis Untermeyer: "A. Housman was born in1859, and, after a classical education, he was, for ten years, Higher Division Clerk in Her Majesty's Patent Office.
		Housman published only one volume of original verse, but that volume (A Shropshire Lad) is known wherever modern English poetry is read.Originally published in 1896, when Housman was almost 37, it is evident that many of these lyrics were written when the poet was much younger.
		From a melodic standpoint, A Shropshire Lad is a collection of exquisite, haunting and almost perfect songs.

	The Housman Society: Alfred Edward Housman
		In 1896 his most famous book, A Shropshire Lad, was published and it has never been out of print since.
		The 63 spare nostalgic verses, born out of the troubles Housman suffered during his life, are set in a half-imaginary Shropshire, a 'land of lost content', and the heart-penetrating simplicity of its verse has given it an enduring popularity.
		1996 was the centenary of the publication of A Shropshire Lad and the climax to a year of varied celebration was the dedication of a window to A.E. Housman in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey.

		The lads in their hundreds to Ludlow come in for the fair, There's men from the barn and the forge and the mill and the fold, The lads for the girls and the lads for the liquor are there, And there with the rest are the lads that will never be old.
		Sleep, my lad; the French are landed, London's burning, Windsor's down; Clasp your cloak of earth about you, We must man the ditch without you, March unled and fight short-handed, Charge to fall and swim to drown.
		But if you come to a road where danger Or guilt or anguish or shame's to share, Be good to the lad that loves you true And the soul that was born to die for you, And whistle and I'll be there.

		the title of 'A Shropshire Lad' indicates both rural specificity and human universality, and it is in the gap between the two that the poems' tension and tragedy lie.
		Written in 1896, the irony of death and change in the never-ending countryside was doubled by the reality that the countryside was changing, that the centuries-old lifestyles were being encroached on by industry and modernity - what seemed to be inviolable itself becomes obsolete.
		A Shropshire Lad, published in 1896 at Housman's own expense, is his best-known work.
