W. H. AUDEN (from a preface by J. D. McClatchy) When he arrived at Oxford as an undergraduate, W. H. Auden went to see his tutor in literature, who asked the young man what he meant to do in later life. "I am going to be a poet," Auden answered. "Ah, yes," replied the tutor, and began a small lecture on verse exercises improving one's prose. Auden scowled. "You don't understand at all," he interrupted. "I mean a great poet."

W. H. Auden From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search W. H. Auden Photo published by Library of Congress Born 21 February York England Died 29 September Vienna Austria Wystan Hugh Auden 21 February 29 September pronounced /ˈwɪstən ˈhjuː ˈɔːdən/ ), who signed his works , was an Anglo-American poet, regarded by many as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. His work is noted for its stylistic and technical achievements, its engagement with moral and political issues, and its variety of tone, form, and content. The central themes of his poetry are: personal love, politics and citizenship, religion and morals, and the relationship between unique human beings and the anonymous, impersonal world of nature. Auden grew up in Birmingham in a professional middle-class family and read English Literature at Oxford . His early poems, in the late 1920s and 1930s, alternated between obscure modern styles and accessible traditional ones, were written in an intense and dramatic tone, and established his reputation as a left-wing political poet and prophet. He became uncomfortable in this role in the later 1930s, and abandoned it after he moved to the United States in 1939. His poems in the 1940s explored religious and ethical themes in a less dramatic manner than his earlier works, but still combined new forms devised by Auden himself with traditional forms and styles. In the 1950s and 1960s many of his poems focused on the ways in which words revealed and concealed emotions, and he took a particular interest in writing opera librettos, a form ideally suited to direct expression of strong feelings.

Auden (1907-1973) - Wystan Hugh Auden English-born poet, whose world view developed from youthful rebellion to rediscovered Anglo-Catholicism. In his work Auden reconciled tradition and modernism. Auden is widely considered among the greatest literary figures of the 20th century. "But time is always guilty. Someone must pay for Our loss of happiness, our happiness itself." (from 'Detective Story' in Collected Poems Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York, North Yorkshire, as the son of George Augustus Auden, a distinguished physician, and Rosalie (Bicknell) Auden. Solihull in the West Midlands, where Auden was brought up, remained important to him as a poet. Auden was educated at St. Edmund's Hindhood and then at Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk. In 1925 he entered Christ Church, Oxford. Auden's studies and writing progressed without much success: he took a disappointing third-class degree in English. And his first collection of poems was rejected by T. S. Eliot

He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

[Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map W.H. Auden Profile Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York but his father, Dr. George Auden, a general medical practitioner, soon took up the post of School Medical Officer for Birmingham and Professor of Public Health at Birmingham University. The family moved to Solihull in 1909, to what was then a village to the south of the city. Wystan retained vivid memories of the area and recalled the journey from Birmingham to Wolverhampton on the train in the poem Letter to Lord Byron The rather unusual Christian name was apparently derived from the fact that his father was born in Repton, Derbyshire, where the bones of St. Wystan were deposited in the Abbey before being taken to Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. The story is that in the ninth century, Wystan, grandson of the King of Mercia, was killed by his uncle and the site of the treachery was marked by a beam of light from the heavens. The place was thereafter called Winstanstow and it lies close to the village of Wistanswick, near Craven Arms, Shropshire. The story is related in an archaeological and historical guide to Shropshire published in 1912 by a certain John Ernest Auden, Wystan's uncle. From the age of eight Wystan was sent to board at a school in Surrey, where he met Christopher Isherwood, and from the age of 13 he went on to Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk. After receiving a degree from Oxford University in 1928 Auden lived in Berlin before commencing a teaching career which was to occupy him for five years.

Auden Random House Audio's "Voice of the Poet" series Print story E-mail story Backflip this story to find it again Along with Yeats and Eliot, W. H. Auden is one of the most influential English-language poets of the twentieth century. His best work artfully potrays the complexity and profundity of the human condition. In 1928, Auden published his first book of verse, and his collection Poems, published in 1930, established him as the leading voice of a new generation. Ever since, he has been admired for his unsurpassed technical virtuosity and an ability to write poems in nearly every imaginable verse form; the incorporation in his work of popular culture, current events, and vernacular speech; and also for the vast range of his intellect, which drew easily from the an extraordinary variety of literatures, art forms, social and political theories, and scientific and technical information.
