Housman's poetry and classical scholarship, revealing the deep connections between the two.\u003c\/b\u003e It offers the first full-length study of his Latin elegy for Moses Jackson, including a new translation and commentary on this homoerotic poem's links to his wider verse. The book also provides an original version and close reading of \u003ci\u003ePraefanda\u003c\/i\u003e, Housman's little-read yet notorious scholarly article on sexual themes, written in Latin. Further, it examines how Tom Stoppard's \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Love\u003c\/i\u003e grapples with the tensions in Housman's dual careers as poet and professor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHousman has long been seen as a man divided-the emotional poet of \u003ci\u003eA Shropshire Lad\u003c\/i\u003e on one hand, and the austere Latinist on the other. While he publicly downplayed the classical influences on his poetry, this book interrogates the subtle but intricate classicism woven throughout his work. By reading his verse alongside his scholarship, it uncovers a more integrated and complex figure, shedding new light on both his poetry and academic writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJennifer Ingleheart\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Latin at Durham University, UK.
