Housman's melodic and memorable poems have been popular for
over a century. He writes typically of lost love, of the brevity of
happiness, of young soldiers doomed to die. Admirers have found his
work elegant and resonant; detractors have thought much of it
mannered and glib. But Housman speaks with two voices: the smooth
texts conceal a dark sub-text. This tormented and secretive man
wrote poems alive with indirect self-disclosure.
