A. E. Housman (1859-1936) by D. R. Shackleton Bailey
Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge 'When I asked myself what it is that has made my readings of the Maniltus the most memorable intellectual experience of my life,' says
Mr. Shackleton Bailey , 'I look to a quality, which I find in no other comparable scholar to anything like the same degree. I mean his unremitting, passionate zeal to see each one of the innumerable problems m his text not as others had presented it or as he might have preferred it to appear but exactly as it was.'
