Library Journal

The great Housman's most famous collection here gets the facsimile treatment. The slim volume contains the complete text plus a scholarly introduction and a bibliography of related works. Though pricey, this is a gorgeous little edition.

A. E. Housman was an eminent classicist and a poet. He is best known for this collection of poems and for his translations of Juvenal, Lucan, and Manilius.
