The unspoiled county of Shropshire is among the most appealing in England for lovers of architecture. The countys many historic towns of which Shrewsbury & Ludlow are the largest are especially plentiful in Georgian & timber-framed buildings. Shropshires villages intriguingly varied in plan & building materials reflect the diverse landscape of plains hills & moorland & the rich & complex underlying geology. The Cistercian abbey of Buildwas is the finest of several notable monastic ruins & outstanding medieval parish churches & castles are also numerous. Many of the country houses have a central place in the story of English architecture: the fortified mansions at Acton Burnell & Stokesay thirteenth-century design at its most sophisticated; the vigorous Baroque houses of John Prince & Francis Smith; John Nashs Italianate villa at Cronkhill looking like something in a Claude painting; Norman Shaws splendid Late Victorian mansion at Adcote. Shropshire is also unrivalled for its early industrial remains including the spectacular bridge at Coalbrookdale the first in the world to be built of iron. More ancient cultures are represented by the numerous prehistoric hill-forts & the celebrated Roman town at Wroxeter. Each city town or village is treated in a detailed gazetteer. A general introduction provides a historical & artistic overview. Numerous maps & plans over a hundred new colour photographs full indexes & an illustrated glossary help to make this book invaluable as both reference work & guide. ...

A Shropshire Lad (1896) is a cycle of sixty-three poems by the English poet Alfred Edward Housman. A Shropshire Lad was first published in 1896 at Housmans own expense after several publishers had turned it down much to the surprise of his colleagues & students. At first the book sold slowly but during the Second Boer War Housmans nostalgic depiction of rural life & young mens early deaths struck a chord with English readers & the book became a bestseller. Later World War I further increased its popularity. Alfred Edward Housman (26 March 1859
- 30 April 1936) usually known as A. E. Housman was an English classical scholar & poet best known for his cycle of poems A Shropshire Lad. Lyrical & almost epigrammatic in form the poems were mostly written before 1900. Their wistful evocation of doomed youth in the English countryside in spare language & distinctive imagery appealed strongly to late Victorian Edwardian & Georgian taste & to many early twentieth century English composers (beginning with Arthur Somervell) both before & after the First World War. Through its song-setting the poetry became closely associated with that era & with Shropshire itself. Housman was counted one of the foremost classicists of his age & has been ranked as one of the greatest scholars of all time. He established his reputation publishing as a private scholar & on the strength & quality of his work was appointed Professor of Latin at UCL & later at Cambridge. His editions of Juvenal Manilius & Lucan are still considered authoritative.
