Question: John Waynflete Carter edited the prose of which poet known for "A Shropshire Lad"?
Context: The Tree of Man is the fourth published novel by the Australian novelist and 1973 Nobel Prize-winner, Patrick White.  It is a domestic drama chronicling the lives of the Parker family and their changing fortunes over many decades.  It is steeped in Australian folklore and cultural myth, and is recognised as the author's attempt to infuse the idiosyncratic way of life in the remote Australian bush with some sense of the cultural traditions and ideologies that the epic history of Western civilisation has bequeathed to Australian society in general.  "When we came to live [in Castle Hill, Sydney]", White wrote, in an attempt to explain the novel, "I felt the life was, on the surface, so dreary, ugly, monotonous, there must be a poetry hidden in it to give it a purpose, and so I set out to discover that secret core, and "The Tree of Man" emerged." .  The title comes from A. E. Housman's poetry cycle "A Shropshire Lad", lines of which are quoted in the text. The Wind's Twelve Quarters is a collection of short stories by American writer Ursula K. Le Guin, named after a line from A. E. Housman's "A Shropshire Lad" and first published by Harper & Row in 1975.  Described by Le Guin as a retrospective, it collects 17 previously published stories, four of which were the germ of novels she was to write later: "The Word of Unbinding" and "The Rule of Names" gave Le Guin the place that was to become Earthsea; "Semley's Necklace" was first published as "Dowry of the Angyar" in 1964 and then as the Prologue of the novel "Rocannon's World" in 1966; "Winter's King" is about the inhabitants of the planet Winter, as is Le Guin's later novel "The Left Hand of Darkness".  Most of the other stories are also connected to Le Guin's novels.  The story "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" won the Hugo Award in 1974, while "The Day Before the Revolution" won the Locus and Nebula Awards in 1975. Six Songs from A Shropshire Lad is a song cycle for baritone and piano composed in 1911 by George Butterworth (18851916).  It consists of settings of six poems from A. E. Housman's 1896 collection "A Shropshire Lad". George Sainton Kaye Butterworth, MC (12 July 18855 August 1916) was an English composer who was best known for the orchestral idyll "The Banks of Green Willow" and his song settings of A. E. Housman's poems from "A Shropshire Lad". "Is My Team Ploughing" is a poem by A. E. Housman, published as number XXVII in his 1896 collection "A Shropshire Lad".  It is a conversation between a dead man and his still living friend.  Towards the end of the poem it is implied that the friend is now with the girl he left behind when he died.  In writing the poem, Housman borrows from the simple style of traditional folk ballads, featuring a question-and-answer format in a conversation. A Shropshire Lad is a collection of sixty-three poems by the English poet Alfred Edward Housman, published in 1896.  After a slow beginning, it rapidly grew in popularity, particularly among young readers.  Composers began setting the poems to music less than ten years after their first appearance.  Many parodies have also been written that satirise Housman's themes and stylistic characteristics. When I Was One-and-Twenty, or Poem XIII, is the informal name of an untitled poem by A. E. Housman, published in "A Shropshire Lad" in 1896.  It is the thirteenth in a cycle of 63 poems.  One of Housman's most familiar poems, it is untitled but often anthologised under a title taken from its first line. " The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations" includes fourteen of its sixteen lines.  Housman's "New York Times" obituary mentioned the poem: "Typical of his lyrics is the poem which has thrilled the world where English is spoken."  Its subject matter, "then and now" temporal perspective, meter, and narrative structure within each verse parallel those of William Butler Yeats' "Down by the Salley Gardens", itself a reworking of "The Rambling Boys of Pleasure". 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. John Waynflete Carter (1905–1975) was an English author, diplomat, bibliographer, book-collector, antiquarian bookseller and Vice-President of the Bibliographical Society of London.  After attending Eton College, he studied classics at King's College, Cambridge, where he gained a double first.  His 1934 exposé, "An Enquiry into the Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets", co-written with Graham Pollard, exposed the forgeries of books and pamphlets by Harry Buxton Forman, a distinguished executive editor of Keats and Shelley, and Thomas J. Wise, one of the world's most prominent book collectors.  Forman and Wise's crimes are generally regarded as one of the most notorious literary scandals of the twentieth century.  Carter also wrote seminal books on aspects of book-collecting, and served on the board of directors of the influential journal The "Book Collector", published by Queen Anne Press, a company managed by James Bond creator Ian Fleming.  Carter also edited the prose of the poet A. E. Housman.  He was the husband of the writer and curator Ernestine Carter and the brother of the printer Will Carter (1912–2001) of the Rampant Lions Press, at which some of his smaller-scale works were published.  He was also a humorist and writer of clerihews, some of which were printed by Will Carter in 1938. The Land of Lost Content is a song cycle for voice and piano composed in 192021 by John Ireland (18791962).  It consists of settings of six poems by A. E. Housman from his 1896 collection "A Shropshire Lad".
