Abstract
When A. E. Housman edited Lucan, he dealt with the ‘confections’ of his predecessors with such high-handed savagery that his introduction is a delight even to non-classical essay-readers. ‘I touch with reluctance …,’ he says, ‘and dispatch with impatience an idle yet pretentious game in which Lucan's less serious critics find amusement, and which they call Ueber lieferungsgeschichte, because that is a longer and nobler name than fudge.’
