The greatest English poet A.E. Houseman (1859–1936), has been known in Russia since the 1930s, but has never been published as a separate book. This edition, prepared by the website "Century of Translation", includes about two-thirds of Houseman's poetic heritage; Some poems are given in several translations. The book ends with Houseman’s parody of ancient drama translated by M.L. Gasparov, as well as the key lecture for understanding the work of the poet-philologist “The Name and Nature of Poetry.”
