The young hope for liberation from the old; the old wish for liberation from age.

He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his long poem The Age of Anxiety , the title of which became a popular phrase describing the modern era. Efforts like theirs may alter the symptoms of a deeper and more pervasive division, the breakup of the real whole, but the universal and unspecific quality of this division makes it impossible to repair.

After his death, his poems became known to a much wider public than during his lifetime through films, broadcasts, and popular media.

  • ABSTRACT Augustinian Auden: the Influence of Augustine of Hippo on W. H. Auden Stephen J. Schuler, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin
    ABSTRACT Augustinian Auden: The Influence of Augustine of Hippo on W. H. Auden Stephen J. Schuler, Ph.D. Mentor: Richard Rankin Russell, Ph.D. It is widely acknowledged that W. H. Auden became a Christian in about 1940, but relatively little critical attention has been paid to Auden‟s theology, much less to the particular theological sources of Auden‟s faith. Auden read widely in theology, and one of his earliest and most important theological influences on his poetry and prose is Saint Augustine of Hippo. This dissertation explains the Augustinian origin of several crucial but often misunderstood features of Auden‟s work. They are, briefly, the nature of evil as privation of good; the affirmation of all existence, and especially the physical world and the human body, as intrinsically good; the difficult aspiration to the fusion of eros and agape in the concept of Christian charity; and the status of poetry as subject to both aesthetic and moral criteria. Auden had already been attracted to similar ideas in Lawrence, Blake, Freud, and Marx, but those thinkers‟ common insistence on the importance of physical existence took on new significance with Auden‟s acceptance of the Incarnation as an historical reality. For both Auden and Augustine, the Incarnation was proof that the physical world is redeemable. Auden recognized that if neither the physical world nor the human body are intrinsically evil, then the physical desires of the body, such as eros, the self-interested survival instinct, cannot in themselves be intrinsically evil. The conflict between eros and agape, or altruistic love, is not a Manichean struggle of darkness against light, but a struggle for appropriate placement in a hierarchy of values, and Auden derived several ideas about Christian charity from Augustine.

  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 0521536472 - 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.

    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;.
