,Housman’s Criticism of Horace,ned in the last chapter led to unsatisfactory results in his scholarship; naturally we shall concentrate here on Housnian’s textual criticism of Horace.

,Horace’s Attitude to Religion,any consolation from the expectation that, having led a distinguished life as a successful lawyer, he will be treated leniently when he comes before the “stern assize” of Hades.

Housman, Literary Criticism, and the Classics,ce an intellectual one; hence, contrary to what Housman seems to suggest in the lecture, there can be no physical or physiological criterion for good poetry.
