- Title
The Can Of Ail: A. E. Housman's Moral Irony.
- Authors
RICHARDSON, DONNA
- Abstract
A literary criticism is presented of the work of English poet A. E. Housman, particularly his use of wit as a means of conveying irony, particularly in the volume of poetry "A Shropshire Lad." The character Terence Hearsay is both the author and the subject of the poems in the book, creating an irony in the poems that the author analyzes in that it creates a distance between Hearsay and the action of the poems.
