Product Description
Product Description
A study of every Auden poem, play and libretto. It presents the publishing history, paraphrases difficult passages, explains allusions, points out variants (including material abandoned in drafts), identifies sources and influences, looks at verse forms, and offers critical interpretation.
From the Back Cover
"Fuller's book is a deeply impressive and valuable achievement that has no real equal in the critical literature on any modern poet. It explains thousands of allusions in all of Auden's plays and poems--and covers virtually all of Auden's published work, not only the poems that he collected. But it is not simply the work of a source-hunter. It is the work of a scholar and successful poet, who can write illuminatingly about verse form and poetic tone as well as about sources and influences. In almost every case, Fuller makes the poems he writes about more enjoyable to read, not merely more comprehensible. It is an astonishingly full guide to reading and research that will remain the main reference work on Auden for many decades." (Edward Mendelson, Editor of The Complete Works of W. H. Auden (Princeton))
