Seller's Description:
Very Good jacket. New York. 1981. July 1981. Viking Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0670287121. 407 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Eric Bramall/Faber and Faber Ltd. keywords: Europe England Literature Poetry Biography World Literature. DESCRIPTION-This important new book casts a brilliant light on W. H. Auden's poems and plays, but it also does a great deal more. Mr. Mendelson's account of Auden's work from the start of his career until his departure for America in 1939 is a richly detailed history of a major writer's artistic, intellectual, emotional, and political growth as he responded to the pressures and possibilities of the modern era. EARLY AUDEN also illustrates important and unfamiliar ways of thinking about literature and about the ethical and social implications of a poet's use of language and form. Edward Mendelson, the American scholar and critic who is Auden's literary executor, has a uniquely full knowledge of his subject and a special authority in handling the extensive and scrupulously gathered material that has gone into this remarkable work. For all its range and variety, EARLY AUDEN is written as vivid and sharply focussed narrative. Mr. Mendelson brings dramatic intensity and intellectual excitement to his account of Auden's rapidly changing attitudes and methods in the crisis years of the 1930s. He shows why each of Auden's poems came to be written, their sources in Auden's personal and literary experience, and how the problems Auden discovered in writing them affected the course of his life. Quotations from unpublished verse and prose reveal aspects of Auden's work and personality that have never been discussed before. Among the many subjects treated in this book are Auden's complex reaction to his modernist predecessors, his varied work in theatre and documentary film, his transformations of the teachings of Freud and Marx, his changing conception of his public role as a writer, and his growing sense of the dilemmas of human limitation and choice. EARLY AUDEN not only clarifies the shape and detail of some of the most extraordinary writings of this century, but also contributes significantly to our understanding of the modernist tradition and its heritage. inventory #37343.
