Textul de pe ultima copertă
W.H.
Auden
has
been
a
dominant
force
in
twentieth-century
poetry
since
the
publication
of
his
first
book
of
poems
in
1930.
His
work
has
borne
witness
to
some
of
the
major
events
of
the
century
-
from
the
slump
of
the
1930s
to
the
war
in
Vietnam
-
yet
it
has
an
intensely
personal
and
domestic
side.
A
British
subject
who
renounced
his
nationality
in
1939
and
subsequently
took
up
American
citizenship,
Auden's
life
and
work
are
full
of
complex
divisions
and
contradictions.
In this Readers' Guide, Paul Hendon introduces some critical paths through Auden's demanding poetry by drawing upon material ranging from contemporary reviews and comments by fellow poets, to more recent scholarly and theoretical approaches. There is an overview of Auden's life and works, useful for readers new to the poet, while subsequent chapters discuss key critical themes through selected extracts. Issues such as the ambiguity of Auden's politics, his return to Christian faith, and his attitude to history, criticism and art are discussed, while the critical arguments surrounding his 'defection' to America and the significance of the increasingly domestic nature of his later work are assessed. The book concludes with a discursive summary of the main critical works on Auden. This Guide offers an introduction to the work of this major poet through the criticism it generated.
