Mer om författaren
Alfred Edward Housman (1859-1326) was born in Fockbury, Worcestershire, and was the eldest of seven. He grew up studious and was passionate about his classical studies, publishing many scholarly articles about the subject. Between teaching Latin at University College London and later Trinity College, Housman dedicated his time to Latin poetry. Inspired, he wrote and published his own poetry collections which became popular during wartime, given their pessimistic spirit and preoccupation with death.
