A. E. Housman Alfred Edward Housman ( ; 26 March 1859 – 30 April 1936), usually known as A. E. Housman, was an English classical scholar and poet, best known to the general public for his cycle of poems "A Shropshire Lad". Lyrical and almost epigrammatic in form, the poems wistfully evoke the dooms and disappointments of youth in the English countryside. Their beauty, simplicity and distinctive imagery appealed strongly to late Victorian and Edwardian taste, and to many early 20th-century English composers both before and after the First World War. Through their song-settings, the poems became closely associated with that era, and with Shropshire itself.

Wirsen, one of the Nobel judges, said that "Germany has not had a greater literary genius since Goethe."

Jan Bolesław Ożóg Jan Bolesław Ożóg (1 March 1913 in Nienadówka – 1 March 1991 in Kraków) was Polish writer, poet and translator. He was born into the family of a village church organist. His first university studies were in theology, but later he changed his mind and took a degree in Polish philology at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. In spite of not finishing theological studies, Ożóg in his poetry was concerned with religious themes all his lifetime. Being a peasant, he was one of the main representatives of the "Autentyzm" poetic movement. Together with Stanisław Czernik he wrote its manifesto. He published his poems in the "Okolica Poetów" ("The Neighbourhood of Poets") review. During World War II he organised secret schools and was soldier of the Home Army. After the war he was a teacher and worked in many places. He was one of the founders of the "Barbarus" poetic group. He is buried at Rakowicki Cemetery in Kraków. In his poetry Ożóg deals with themes of peasants' culture, Catholic religion, the conflict of faith and sexuality, sin and death. Sometimes he is regarded as a representative of New Paganism as he often refers to Slavic myths. Oźóg's versification is notable for its frequent use of irregular amphibrachic metre.
