Bringing together the poems written by Auden between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one (1922-1928), this book gives us a detailed look at the literary personality, development, and preoccupations of a major poet. It also describes crucial unknown aspects of his youth during his years at Gresham's School and at Christ Church, Oxford.
Provides an analysis of Western culture during the Second World War that won the Pulitzer Prize and inspired a symphony by Leonard Bernstein as well as a ballet by Jerome Robbins.
Auden's only explicitly religious long poem, a technical tour de force, and a revelatory window into the poet's personal and intellectual development. This edition includes the text of the poem and a detailed introduction that explains its themes and sets it in its proper contexts.
A remarkable lecturer, W H Auden could inspire his listeners to great feats of recall and dictation. This title features lectures, where we hear him alluding to authors from Homer, Dante, and St Augustine to Kierkegaard, Ibsen, and T S Eliot, drawing upon the full range of European literature and opera, and also referring to the day's newspapers.
Contains an introduction and notes that make the poem accessible to readers of Auden and readers of Shakespeare. This poem begins in a theater after a performance of "The Tempest" has ended. It includes a speech in verse by Prospero bidding farewell to Ariel.
