Whilst I wouldn't have liked Housman in person (He was awfully and unforgivably rude to his students), I do like his poetry. This one, about the land of our childhood, comes from his collection "A Shropshire lad". By the way, he wasn't a Shropshire lad -he came from Worcester.

A.E. Housman, the great textual critic and poet, and arguably the most famous classicist to ever study @StJohnsOx was born #otd in 1859. Here is one of his rare portraits (by Francis H. Dodd), still on the wall in our Senior Common Room.

Wonderful commemoration in #Bromsgrove to celebration 165 years since AE Housman was born. Our guest reader, an undergraduate from Exeter College Oxford, delivered a wonderful speech at the lunch hosted by @BromsgroveDC

Wonderful to see AE Housman in the news. His work remains relevant, inspiring and admired. Last year, the Society published a centenary edition of last poems which is available on our website housman-society.co.uk/books/

An updated edition of acclaimed poetry collection A Shropshire Lad includes images by a county photographer. John Hayward from @ShropsAndBeyond provided shots of Shropshire to accompany the words of A. E. Housman. BBC presenter @nickowentv is a lifelong lover of Housman's work.

We are certain AE Housman would be pleased to see @BromsgrovePride in town today. In summer 1895, following the trial and imprisonment of Oscar Wilde, he drafted 'Oh who is that young sinner’. The poem depicts discrimination through the extended metaphor of a young man’s hair.
