More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
One of six wonderful poetry collections published to celebrate Faber's 80th anniversary
Product Description
W. H. Auden (1907-73) came to prominence in the 1930s among a generation of outspoken poets that included his friends Louis MacNeice, Stephen Spender and C. Day Lewis. But he was also an intimate and lyrical poet of great originality, and a master craftsman of some of the most cherished and influential poems of the past century.
Other volumes in this series: Betjemen, Eliot, Plath, Hughes and Yeats.

Away from home for a weekend, I bought it just for "Funeral Blues"; I could not find another edition in a small bookshop and, after we had seen "Four Weddings and a Funeral" in which this poem is read, I wanted a copy. It is always possible to criticise a selected works for the obvious reason and this slim volume with a diachronic selection and a minimalist stark white cover design is open to that criticism but not by me. It has exactly what I was looking for, it was cheap and, when I dippped into it, I discovered a whole selection of Auden's I enjoyed. "Musee des Beaux Arts", "O What is that Sound?", "England to me is My Own Tongue".
For just under £2.00, no-one should complain.

A longitudinal slice of Auden's work might be the academic thing to do but the choice here fails to engage. A few more popular pieces would not have gone amiss. I guess the selection is OK for a student studying Auden but the book should have been aimed at a potentailly wider audience.

Love this book. The graphics are very cute. It is somewhat padded on the covers and I did not know that prior to purchase. I get compliments on this book all the time.
