In A Shropshire Lad, A. E. Housman recreates a nostalgic world of lost love, lost youth, thwarted friendships, unfaithful girls, male bonding, untimely death, and the uncertain glories of being a soldier. The poems deal with the exuberance of youth—its aspirations and disappointments, its naïve certainties and tragic mistakes. Though written in 1895, it struck a chord with the generation of young men who fought in World War I. It was said that every “Tommy” had a copy in his knapsack. It has never been out of print.
