"This edition is a monument not just a man - though in the case of this man that would be more than enough - but to an entire era of scholarly and literary activity. The Editor has laboured mightily, and the magnitude of his achievement more than justifies his extraordinary patience and dedication." - John Vaio, The Classical Review "This edition is a monument not just to a man...but to an entire era of scholarly and literary activity.

substantial achievement." - Christopher Stray, Journal of Hellenic Studies "footnotes are a model of editorial tact..." - Matthew Bevis "[An] exhaustive and monumental achievement." - The New Republic "[a] magnificent edition... For the first time this edition allows us to see Housman live." - Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, Times Literary Supplement "...typically accurate and a noteworthy benchmark..." - David Butterfield, Bryn Mawr Classical Review "...meticulously edited...[and] beautiful edition of Housman's letters" - Telegraph Review "...most welcome and elegant...much to his credit [Burnett] does not impose censorship...the
letters are delightful reading...I warmly recommend the edition..." - William M. Calder III, GNOMON "...the most complete collection of Housman's letters yet published." - Contemporary Review
