Student Guide to W.H. Auden

Viac o knihe

Stephen Wade provides an interpretation of Auden's major themes and preoccupations throughout his long career as a poet. Wade examines Auden's apparent immaturity and views about love. Auden's technical ability and interest in experimental poetic forms was not always successful but contains insights into modern society. Despite the too frequent intellectualism, personal allusion and highly idiosyncratic diction inherent in Auden's method, Wade pinpoints the strength of his work.
