Book Synopsis Later Auden by : Edward Mendelson

Download or read book Later Auden written by Edward Mendelson and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'For a poet like myself, an autobiography is redundant' Auden wrote to a friend, 'since anything of importance that happens to one is immediately incorporated, however obscurely, in a poem.' This scholarly book is the history of Auden's poems, and of the events that went into them, from the time he moved to America in 1939 until his death in Austria in 1973. It completes the study begun by Professor Mendelson in his standard Early Auden. Later Auden links the changes in Auden's intellectual, religious and domestic life with his shifting public roles - as representative of political causes, as a researcher working for the army in post-war Germany, as public moralist, lecturer and teacher, and above all as poet and thinker. Mendelson shows how Auden converted the success and later wreckage of his relationship with Chester Kallman into the seemingly impersonal meditations of his long poems, and explores theways his later poetry celebrates the human body. Throughout he reveals the depth of Auden's struggles with himself and with the temptations of his growing fame, showing how these struggles gave shape to his imperishable art.
