Auden This volume brings together specially commissioned essays by some of the world’s leading experts on the life and work of W. H. Auden, one of the major English-speaking poets of the twentieth century. The volume’s contributors include a prize-winning poet, Auden’s literary executor and editor, and his most recent, widely acclaimed biographer. It offers fresh perspectives on his work from new and established Auden critics, alongside the views of specialists from such diverse fields as drama, ecological and travel studies. It provides scholars, students and general readers with a comprehensive and authoritative account of Auden’s life and works in clear and accessible English. Besides providing authoritative accounts of the key moments and dominant themes of his poetic development, the Companion examines his language, style and formal innovation, his prose and critical writing and his ideas about sexuality, religion, psychoanalysis, politics, landscape, ecology and globalisation. It also contains a comprehensive bibliography of writings about Auden. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521829623 - The Cambridge Companion to W. H.

FORUM | ISSUE 13 Andrew Campbell 1 Mammary Landscapes and Mother's Figure Vengeance and matrilineal legacy in the poetic drama of W.H. Auden Andrew Campbell University of Strathclyde Mother Figures In 1929, aged 22, the poet W.H. Auden wrote in his journal of the “Tyranny of the Dead.” Analysing the psychological malaise attributed to the influence of ancestry, the precocious talent reasoned that “One cannot react against them.” (Mendelson 47). This conclusion, recognising the inability of the individual to slip his familial history and escape the legacy of his antecedents, recurs throughout Auden's early verse, in the form of the “ancestral curse” which “repeats its potent pattern,” in 'Under boughs between our tentative endearments,' (EA 29) and the “Family ghosts” he would identify in 'The string's excitement, the applauding drum.' (EA 32) Auden's sense of the pressure of the social past - personal, familial and historical - finds its clearest expression in his poetic drama, which he commenced with Paid On Both Sides in 1928 and concluded with On The Frontier, the third of his collaborations with Christopher Isherwood, in 1938.

  • Auden's Revisions
    Auden’s Revisions By W. D. Quesenbery for Marilyn and in memoriam William York Tindall Grellet Collins Simpson © 2008, William D. Quesenbery Acknowledgments Were I to list everyone (and their affiliations) to whom I owe a debt of gratitude for their help in preparing this study, the list would be so long that no one would bother reading it. Literally, scores of reference librarians in the eastern United States and several dozen more in the United Kingdom stopped what they were doing, searched out a crumbling periodical from the stacks, made a Xerox copy and sent it along to me. I cannot thank them enough. Instead of that interminable list, I restrict myself to a handful of friends and colleagues who were instrumental in the publication of this book. First and foremost, Edward Mendelson, without whose encouragement this work would be moldering in Columbia University’s stacks; Gerald M. Pinciss, friend, colleague and cheer-leader of fifty-odd years standing, who gave up some of his own research time in England to seek out obscure citations; Robert Mohr, then a physics student at Swarthmore College, tracked down citations from 1966 forward when no English literature student stepped forward; Ken Prager and Whitney Quesenbery, computer experts who helped me with technical problems and many times saved this file from disappearing into cyberspace;.

  • Britten and His Fellow Composers: Six Footnotes for a Seventieth Birthday
    15 Britten and His Fellow Composers: Six Footnotes for a Seventieth Birthday DAVID DREW Not only for critical and scholarly purposes but also for those of concert planning, the study of Britten's links with other major composers- as with lesser ones - had proved its worth long before comparable pairings became a cliche of concert promotion on both sides of the Atlantic. Hans Keller's pioneering thesis on Britten and Mozart was written in 1946 and first pub­ lished two years later, but was not to achieve fame and notoriety until its reappearance in Benjamin Britten: A Commentary on His Works From A Group of Specialists (1952). By then, Donald Mitchell, Paul Hamburger and Keller himself had greatly extended the field of reference in their writings for Music Survey and the Music Review. In its historical context - that is, in the context of a musical culture whose inborn insularity had become in the war years a necessary defence mechanism - the collocation of Britten and Mozart was provocative in the highest degree. The liberating force of Britten's cosmopolitanism had been resisted from the start by opponents of his similarly outward-listening teacher Frank Bridge. For them, the Mozartian parallel was so gross an impiety that they were ready to applaud Martin Cooper's brilliantly subversive suggestion that the true analogy was not with Mozart but with Saint-Saens. At a time when the reputation of that immensely accomplished and widely enjoyed composer was somewhat tarnished, comparisons with Britten had a polemical thrust that is almost unimaginable today. In Phaeton, in Le Rouet d'Omphale, even in the Carnival of the Animals, today's listeners may hear without embarrassment something of what Britten himself must once have heard.

  • Funeral Blues
    Epitaph HERE lies a most beautiful lady, Light of step and heart was she; I think she was the most beautiful lady That ever was in the West Country. But beauty vanishes; beauty passes; 5 However rare—rare it be; And when I crumble, who will remember This lady of the West Country? Walter John de la Mare, OM, CH ( / ˈ d ɛ l ə ˌ m ɛər /;[1] 25 April 1873 – 22 June 1956) was an English poet, short story writer and novelist. He is probably best remembered for his works for children and for his poem "The Listeners". He also wrote some subtle psychological horror stories, amongst them "Seaton's Aunt" and "Out of the Deep". His 1921 novel Memoirs of a Midget won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction[2] and his post-war Collected Stories for Children won the 1947 Carnegie Medal for British children's books.[3] (Wikipedia) W. H. Auden – Funeral Blues Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
