Frasi di Alfred Edward Housman

Alfred Edward Housman è stato un poeta e filologo classico inglese, meglio noto per aver scritto la raccolta poetica A Shropshire Lad .

Come filologo classico, curò le edizioni di Manilio , di Giovenale e di Lucano .

La sua produzione poetica, rigorosa nella forma volutamente scarna, è l'espressione di un cupo pessimismo che ricorda Thomas Hardy. Wikipedia
