Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

This work contains Auden's 1949 lectures at the university of Virginia on the sensibility of romanticism, dealing with poetry by Coleridge, Byron and Blake. Wystan Hugh Auden was an English-American poet. Auden's poetry was noted for its stylistic and technical achievement, its engagement with politics, morals, love, and religion, and its variety in tone, form and content. He is best known for love poems such as "Funeral Blues", poems on political and social themes such as "September 1, 1939" and "The Shield of Achilles", poems on cultural and psychological themes such as The Age of Anxiety, and poems on religious themes such as "For the Time Being" and "Horae Canonicae".
