Siddhartha Wystan Hugh Auden PLACES: W. H. Auden POEMS: Funeral Blues The English-born American writer Wystan Hugh Auden was one of the most important poets of the 20th century. Auden was born in York, the son of a physician. At first interested in science, he soon turned to poetry. In 1925 he entered Christ Church College, University of Oxford, where he became the center of a group of young leftist writers who generally expressed a socialist viewpoint, while continuing the artistic revolution of such earlier writers as T. S. Eliot , James Joyce, and Ezra Pound. This group included the poets Louis MacNiece and Stephen Spender and the novelist Christopher Isherwood. After graduating in 1928, he spent five years as a schoolmaster in Scotland and England. Auden's earliest works are startling in several ways. They contain unusual meters, words, and images, juxtapose industrial and natural landscapes, and mix the rhythms of poetry with those of jazz music. Some critics feel that Auden's first books, Poems (1930) and The Orators, an English Study

In Jerusalem Under the fifth procurator of Judea in the third or fourth severe April of the ten, sharp Aprils of his office. On Ariel mountain is Adam, an incarnation of all mankind. This unique "I" can never be the topic of speech; we can only communicate with each other about objects and events of this or that class. Yet, whenever a man's speech is authentic, the way in which he speaks of such objects and events is uniquely his so that, in order to understand him, we have to translate what he says into our own unique speech, which, like his, consists, one might say, exclusively of Proper Nouns. The difficulty of such translation which is implicit in all personal communication, above all in poetry, is manifest in Anathemata anyone except the author would be able fully to understand the poem. I myself have read it many times since it first appeared ten years ago and there are still many passages which I do not "get." In his defense, however, one must point out that M. St. John Perse's picture of humanity is necessarily, by its timelessness and placelessness, lacking in a sense of human motive and purpose; his Adam has no history, and it is Adam's history in which Mr. Jones is most interested.

Auden Stephen Burt and Hannah Brooks-Motl Named one of the "Best Books of 2005" by Contemporary Poetry Review "W. H. Auden's debut as a poet, in 1928, was the most prodigious since Byron's. When he arrived on the American scene in 1939, he continued to dazzle readers in this countrynone more so than Randall Jarrell, who had been reading and admiring him from the start. Auden's triumphal march across the next decade, though, began to disconcert Jarrell, and these Princeton lectures are the record of his mixed feelings. His readings are bracing, and his conclusions misjudged, but where else will one encounter a major poet so intimately engaged with the work of another? We're told that, informed of Jarrell's attacks. Auden merely shrugged, "I think Jarrell must be in love with me," and in a crucial sense he was right." Yale Review "Painstakingly pieced together, these fascinating lectures represent a titanic clash between two of the most brilliant literary minds of the twentieth century. Randall Jarrell incisively probes the ethics, psychology, and aesthetics of W. H. Auden’s poetry, and even when Jarrell’s judgments seem vexed, his wit and intelligence dazzle." Shifting Ground: Reinventing Landscape in Modern American Poetry "This set of critical engagements, published here for the first time, allows one to start right in the middle of two mid-century titans."

TWO SONGS FOR HEDLI ANDERSON in Selected Poems of W.H. Auden by W. H. Auden Vintage I Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. 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. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good. II O the valley in the summer where I and my John Beside the deep river would walk on and on While the flowers at our feet and the birds up above Argued so sweetly on reciprocal love, And I leaned on his shoulder; 'O Johnny, let's play':

The British Library and the Stephen Spender Memorial Trust celebrate Auden's centenary with an evening of poetry readings that reflect the enormous breadth and wonderful technical variety of Auden's published output, including both the poems of the 1930's that chart 'a low dishonest decade', and his later work published while resident in the United States. Lady Natasha Spender writes: "This tribute to Auden on the anniversary of his birth is offered by younger poets whom he encouraged and who became his lifelong friends: Andrew Motion, the present Poet Laureate, who as an Oxford undergraduate knew him; the American Richard Howard, who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize by him; Grey Gowrie, who knew him through Auden's niece, Anita; and Peter Porter, John Fuller and James Fenton, who saw him on his annual London visits for Poetry International. Only Sean O'Brien, 20 when Auden died in 1973, did not know him. He used to stay with us or his brother John, and to all the children - Anita and Rita Auden, Matthew and Lizzie Spender - he was a beloved bachelor uncle who invented games and shared their passions for Tolkien and C S Lewis, introducing a benevolent bossiness into our liberal households."

Book Search: Keywords Author Title or ISBN More Options Power Search Search Hints Google contents of this website: Google full text of our books: The Complete Works of W.H. Auden: Libretti and Other Dramatic Writings, 1939-1973 Shopping Cart Reviews W. H. Auden called opera the "last refuge of the High Style," and considered it the one art in which the grand manner survived the ironic levelings of modernity. He began writing libretti soon after he arrived in America in 1939 and abandoned his earlier attempts to write public, political drama. Opera gave him the opportunity to rise to the high style in public, not in an attempt to elevate his own status as a poet, but in service of the heroic voice of the singers. These works present their mythical actions with a direct intensity unlike anything in even his greatest poems. In this volume of Auden and Chester Kallman's libretti, extensive historical and textual notes trace the history of the production and revision of the works and provide full texts of early scenarios, as well as abandoned and rewritten scenes. Almost all the works included here were previously published in incomplete and often inaccessible editionsor were never published at all. The book prints for the first time the full text of
