A.E. Housman Classical Scholar

Butterfield, Stray, et al. have done an excellent job of restoring Housman to his proper place in the history of classical scholarship and of reminding us that there is more to Housman than his poetry. The Classical Bulletin (vol. 85) ... Toutes ces raisons, auxquelles j'ajoute la superbe photographie de la quatrieme de couverture qui represente Housman a quarante ans, avec un regard rayonnant, font que je recommande cet ouvrage. Exemplaria Classica 14. 2010 ...the essays provide a window into the processes of scholarship past and present, including the tensions between search for truth and the human foibles that condition its definition and communication ... The collection should provoke serious thought among current practitioners about the differences between the academic environments of Housman, his immediate successors and those of today. -- Lorna Hardwick, The Open University Journal of Roman Studies
