There, an undergraduate seminar on the 1930s, taught by Harald Raykowski, gave me a taste of the writers of this period. As is so often the case, my engagement with Auden derived from an ini- tial resistance: I did not like his poetry very much to start with. But it was that very negative initial impression of preposterous cleverness and abstract detachment that kept me fascinated, to the point that I eventually wrote my M.A. dissertation at Warwick University on Auden’s early poetry, very kindly supervised by Edward Larrissy. During my time as a doctoral student in Oxford, I had the privilege not only to be supervised by one of the greatest Auden scholars in Britain, John Fuller, but also to be permitted to participate in one of his M.Phil. seminars on Auden. Since then I have learned most about Auden through teaching his works at Frankfurt University and the University of Wales, Cardiff. I am grateful to Cardiff for pro- viding me with an intellectual environment in which the study of lit- erature and debates in Critical and Cultural Theory go hand in hand. This outlook has very much shaped this book. I am also grate- ful to my students for reminding me that they find Auden’s poetry difficult, while at the same time showing a level of interest that has kept me convinced that it might be worthwhile to add to the existing corpus of Auden studies another voice that signals his continuing relevance in the literary and critical debates at the end of the twenti- eth century. ix Editions used in the Text and their Abbreviations Auden’s complete works are in the process of being collected in a complete critical edition at the time of writing this book. Unfortu- nately, the volume containing Auden’s poetry has not been released to date – for reasons that can easily be guessed by anyone familiar with Auden’s habit of constant revisions. The present study there- fore uses the most easily accessible collection of Auden’s poetry throughout, and supplements it with an edition of his early writings when necessary. Auden’s verse plays are taken from the first vol- ume of the new complete edition. References to some of his prose writings refer to the first volume of the latter in the critical Complete Works.

    Notes 1. Taming the Monster 1. Geoffrey Grigson, ‘Auden as a Monster’, New Verse, 26–7 (1937), 13–17 (p. 13). 2. New Signatures appeared for the first time in 1932, New Country in 1933; New Verse was published from January 1933 until January 1939, New Writing from Spring 1936 until 1950. See Samuel Hynes, The Auden Generation: Literature and Politics in England in the 1930s (London and Boston: Faber & Faber, 1976), pp. 74–5, 102, 114, 198. 3. Richard Hoggart’s Auden: An Introductory Essay (London: Chatto & Windus, 1951), the first and surprisingly good study of Auden’s works, set the tone with the remark ‘Auden’s poetry is particularly concerned with the pressures of the times’, p. 9. 4. François Duchêne, The Case of the Helmeted Airman: A Study of W. H. Auden’s Poetry (London: Chatto & Windus, 1972) is an unpleasant example of this vivisection attitude that regards the author as a part of the texts and endeavours to supply its reader not only with a textual analysis, but glimpses of the author’s psyche. Herbert Greenberg, Quest for the Necessary: W. H. Auden and the Dilemma of Divided Con- sciousness (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1968) is a more sensitive study. 5. Auden himself proves a perceptive commentator on such attitudes when he writes in the preface to The Poet’s Tongue of 1935, ‘The psy- chologist maintains that poetry is a neurotic symptom, an attempt to compensate by phantasy for a failure to meet reality. We must tell him that phantasy is only the beginning of writing; that, on the contrary, like psychology, poetry is a struggle to reconcile the unwilling subject and object; in fact, that since psychological truth depends so largely on context, poetry, the parabolic approach, is the only adequate medium for psychology’ (Pr 108).

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521829623 - The Cambridge Companion to W. H. Auden Edited by Stan Smith Excerpt More information 1 STAN SMITH Introduction ‘Of the many definitions of poetry, the simplest is still the best: “memorable speech”’, W. H. Auden wrote in the Introduction to his 1935 anthology, The Poet’s Tongue (Poet’s Tongue, p. v). Auden is one of the few modern poets whose words inhabit the popular memory. Long before the recitation of ‘Funeral Blues’ in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, many of his phrases had passed into common use. His characterisation in ‘September 1, 1939’of the 1930s as a ‘low dishonest decade’ has become definitive and ubiquitous, invoked even in quarters not normally associated with high literacy. Dan Quayle, for example, announcing his 1999 Presidential candidacy, applied it to the Clinton years. This poem alone has supplied titles for countless books, including studies of the economic origins of World War II (A Low Dishonest Decade), Soviet espionage (The Haunted Wood), the history of saloons (Faces Along the Bar) and a play about AIDS (The Normal Heart). Such diverse co-options indicate the range of reference Auden can pack into a single poem. Ironically, a poem Auden rapidly disowned has become one of the most widely cited modern texts. Written in a ‘dive’ on New York’s Fifty-Second Street on the day Germany invaded Poland, it took on a whole new sig- nificance after 11 September 2001. The Times Literary Supplement’s ‘Letter from New York’ after those events reported that Auden’s words were now everywhere, reprinted in many major newspapers, read on national Public Radio and featured in hundreds of web chat-rooms.

  • The Poetics of Human Rights: Auden and Al-Jawahiri in the 1930S
    THE POETICS OF HUMAN RIGHTS: AUDEN AND AL-JAWAHIRI IN THE 1930S AHMED FAISAL KHALEEL PhD UNIVERSITY OF YORK ENGLISH AND RELATED LITERATURE FEBRUARY 2015 Dedication To My Father, whose funeral I couldn’t witness Or be with him in that hour of need This, Ḥāj Faisal, is a day of happiness For you and all my friends whom Death ceased Let your blessed souls have fun today I will join you later, as a Dr., I pray. ii Abstract This is a comparative study of human rights in modern English and Arabic poetry. It is an attempt to find out answers for the ongoing controversies on human rights across cultures, as well as between the humanitarian and the legal perspectives of human rights. It is also a step towards inspecting further dimensions in the relationship between human rights and literature, considering poetry as a main literary genre. Through narrative, argumentative and analytic methods this research project tackles a selection of the poetic careers of W. H. Auden and Mohammed Mahdi al-Jawahiri in the 1930s. Three poems are selected from each of the two poets, according to subject matter and its relation to human rights, chronological development, surrounding events and the poet’s character, his reactions and concerns. From Auden I have selected “Musée des Beaux Arts,” “Epitaph on a Tyrant” and “Refugee Blues;” while from al-Jawahiri, “Taḥarrak al-Laḥd” (The Coffin Moved), “Fī al-Sijn” (In Jail) and “al-Iqṭāʿ” (Land policy). Being divided into three pairs, the six poems (‘Musée des Beaux’ Arts with ‘Fī al-Sijn’, ‘Epitaph on a Tyrant’ with ‘Taḥarrak al-Laḥd’ and ‘Refugee Blues’ with ‘al- Iqṭāʿ’) will be identified and analysed in terms of human rights.
