This early study of A. E. Housman, first published in October 1936 just months after Housman's death, was written by his friend and colleague at Trinity College, Cambridge, A. S. F. Gow. As well as offering a skilful and illuminating portrait of Housman's life and character, Gow's study importantly draws together a list of Housman's collected papers - a list which was revised by Housman himself and included citations to publications that he expressly desired should not be reprinted or collected. This rare, contemporary account of Housman's life and works forms an indispensable resource for both scholars and general readers alike.
