	Alfred Edward Housman
		Housman was born in Fockbury, Worcestershire, the eldest of seven children of a country solicitor.
		Housman was educated first in King Edward's School, then in Bromsgrove School where he acquired a strong academic grounding and won prizes for his poetry.
		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 all-pervasive death, with no place for the consolations of religion.

	Alfred Edward Housman Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		The English poet and classical scholar Alfred Edward Housman (1859-1936) is known for the simplicity of his form and language, the narrow range of his subject matter, and the attitude of traditional stoicism which his poems present.
		Housman's written works of Greek and Latin criticism are marked by devastating wit at the expense of professional colleagues, and those who knew him well found him a charming conversationalist.
		In 1911 Housman took the chair of Latin at Cambridge, where, as a fellow of Trinity College, he became a regular and popular lecturer in the classics and continued his editions of Latin authors and his essays on textual criticism until the time of his death.

	ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN
		Alfred Edward Housman was born in Fockbury, Worcestershire (close to the Shropshire border), the country which became the scene of his poetry.
		It was characteristic of Housman that his classical studies consisted of meticulous, impersonal textual investigations; there was something reserved and solitary about his life as there was about his scholarship, in which he allowed no trace of his feeling for literature to appear.
		Housman avoids self-pity by projecting the emotion through an imagined character, notably the "Shropshire Lad," so that even the first-person poems seem to be distanced in some degree.
