Stanley Wyatt, Cover Design (illustratore). Since his brilliant debut on the literary scene, the career of W. H. Auden has been marked by seeming self-contradictions and sharp fluctuations in critical reputation. Today, however, his is recognized as one of the major voices of twentieth century poetry. Originally the leading spokesman of a group of iconoclastic, Marxist-oriented English poets, Auden confounded many admirers by returning to Anglicanism and emigrating to the United States. Using an extraordinary variety of poetic forms--from the traditional to the most experimental--he has evolved deeply personal symbolism, bringing the world of public events and the private world of the poet into meaningful conjunction. Among the authors of these essays are: Christopher Isherwood: Auden's close friend from childhood and his literary mentor for many years (as well as his collaborator on three plays), speaks with a unique authority about Auden's early verse. Stephen Spender: After Spender's, the next two essays, both dating from the mid-Fifties, present the judgments of distinguished American women and men of letters on Auden's work. Cleanth Brooks: The second early essay (1939) is that by Cleanh Brooks, who (in a book which, by the way, Auden reviewed favorably in "The Nation") was one of the first to apply the "new criticism" fruitfully to Auden. Concerning that his affinities are with the true central tradition of English poetry as it appears most plainly in the seventeenth-century "Metaphysical" poets. Marianne Moore: Marianne Moore's essay is of interest as the opinion of an American poet of the first rank, whose verse has had a distinct influence on some of Auden's later work, especially that in syllabic meter. She belongs to no critical school or trend, but displays the reactions of her own fine sensibility and keen intelligence as a kind of poetry very different from her own. Edmund Wilson: Well-known critic and man of letters. Included in this book are Chronology of Important Dates, Notes on the Editor and Authors, Selected Bibliography. There is smudging to the page edges. The front and back covers have corner creases and some of the printed pages. The pages are clean and free of any markings or highlighting.
