The Cambridge Companion to W. H Cambridge University Press 0521536472 - The Cambridge Companion to W. H. Auden Edited by Stan Smith Index More information INDEX Auden’s works are subdivided below into Poetry (volumes and individual poems), Plays (includ- ing libretti, radio and film scripts) and Prose (volumes, essays, chapters). The latter includes prose passages from ‘mixed’ volumes of verse and prose, where such extracts have individual titles and are discussed separately in the text, and anthologies edited by Auden, whether of prose or verse. Poetry and prose collections and critical and biographical sources are indexed only when they are discussed in their own right, but not when identifying references. Where there are alternative titles both are indicated. The poet himself is not indexed. Abyssinia 28, 157 Ashbery, John 4, 22, 227, 230 Ackerley, J.

  • Sharpe, Tony, 1952– Editor of Compilation
    more information - www.cambridge.org/9780521196574 W. H. AUDen IN COnteXT W. H. Auden is a giant of twentieth-century English poetry whose writings demonstrate a sustained engagement with the times in which he lived. But how did the century’s shifting cultural terrain affect him and his work? Written by distinguished poets and schol- ars, these brief but authoritative essays offer a varied set of coor- dinates by which to chart Auden’s continuously evolving career, examining key aspects of his environmental, cultural, political, and creative contexts. Reaching beyond mere biography, these essays present Auden as the product of ongoing negotiations between him- self, his time, and posterity, exploring the enduring power of his poetry to unsettle and provoke. The collection will prove valuable for scholars, researchers, and students of English literature, cultural studies, and creative writing. Tony Sharpe is Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University. He is the author of critically acclaimed books on W. H. Auden, T. S. Eliot, Vladimir Nabokov, and Wallace Stevens. His essays on modernist writing and poetry have appeared in journals such as Critical Survey and Literature and Theology, as well as in various edited collections. W. H.

He liked to categorize and pigeon-hole, but invariably with the awareness that all systems and categories only work on their own terms, that the systematizer is implicated in his creations, that consciousness, while freeing us to explain ourselves to ourselves and to each other, also imprisons us in the explanations we have framed.

  • Anti-Romantic Elements in the Biographical-Critical Poems of W. H. Auden's Another Time
    RICE UNIVERSITY ANTI-ROMANTIC ELBiENTS IN THE BIOGRAPHICAL-CRITICAL . POEMS OF W. H. AUDEN’S ANOTHER TIME by Sarah Lilly Terrell A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS Thesis Director’s signature* l/tyk&bjL /Al. — Houston, Texas June 1966 ABSTRACT ANTI-ROMANTIC ELEMENTS IN THE BIOGRAPHICAL-CRITICAL POEMS OF W. H. AUDEN’S ANOTHER TIME by Sarah Lilly Terrell W. H. Auden first published the volume of poems entitled Another Time on February 7, 1940. There has been no study of the volume as an artistic entity, and only a few of the poems have received detailed commentary. This thesis will consider a selected group of poems from Another Time, the biographical-critical poems, in some detail. They have been selected for major emphasis because they reflect the dominant concerns of the volume. Furthermore, because each biographical portrait is based on an informed knowledge of the life and work of the writer it depicts, the reader must be similarly informed before he can appreciate the richness of reference and astuteness of judgment which characterize those poems. The poems will be viewed from two perspectives: that sug¬ gested by Auden's prose writings on Romanticism and that provided by the context of the volume as a whole. The second chapter of this thesis surveys the wealth of primary sources in prose available to the critic interested in Auden's attitude towards Romanticism. The prose written from 1937-1941 is pervaded by Auden's concern with the implications of Romanticism. The address given at Smith College in 1940 contains Auden's most explicit statement of the ABSTRACT (Cont'd.) relationship of Romanticism to the then current political situation* The urgency of his preoccupation results from his conviction that the Romantics1 failure to grasp the proper relationship of freedom to nec¬ essity has an immediate and direct bearing on the rise of fascism* This preoccupation appears repeatedly in the many book reviews Auden wrote during this period.

  • 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.
