"Presented in one volume for the very first time, and updated with new archival discoveries,
Early Auden, Later Auden reintroduces Edward Mendelson's acclaimed, two-part biography
of W.H. Auden (1907-73), one of the greatest literary figures of the twentieth century.
This book offers a detailed history and interpretation of Auden's oeuvre, spanning
the duration of his career from juvenilia to his final works in poetry as well as
theatre, film, radio, opera, essays, and lectures. Early Auden, Later Auden begins
with Auden's emigration from England to the United States. The book follows the evolution
of his thought, offering a comparison of the poet's views at various junctures over
a lifetime. With penetrating insight, Mendelson examines Auden's early ideas, methods,
and personal transitions as reflected in poems, manuscripts and private papers. The
book then links changes in Auden's intellectual, emotional and religious experience
with his shifting public role--showing the depth of his personal struggles with self
and with fame, and the means by which these internal conflicts were reflected in his
art in later years."
