Auden Edited by Arthur Kirsch Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents Sample Chapter: Henry VI, Parts One, Two, and Three ... Sample Chapter: Sonnets "W. H. Auden, poet and critic, will conduct a course on Shakespeare at the New School for Social Research beginning Wednesday. Mr. Auden has announced that in his course . . . he proposes to read all Shakespeare's plays in chronological order." The New York Times reported this item on September 27, 1946, giving notice of a rare opportunity to hear one of the century's great poets comment on one of the greatest poets of all time. Published here for the first time, these lectures now make Auden's thoughts on Shakespeare available widely. Painstakingly reconstructed by Arthur Kirsch from the notes of students who attended, primarily Alan Ansen, who became Auden's secretary and friend, the lectures afford remarkable insights into Shakespeare's plays as well as the sonnets. A remarkable lecturer, Auden could inspire his listeners to great feats of recall and dictation. Consequently, the poet's unique voice, often down to the precise details of his phrasing, speaks clearly and eloquently throughout this volume. In these lectures, we hear Auden alluding to authors from Homer, Dante, and St. Augustine to Kierkegaard, Ibsen, and T. S. Eliot, drawing upon the full range of European literature and opera, and referring to the day's newspapers and magazines, movies and cartoons. The result is an extended instance of the "live conversation" that Auden believed criticism to be. Notably a conversation between Auden's capacious thought and the work of Shakespeare, these lectures are also a prelude to many ideas developed in Auden's later prosea prose in which, one critic has remarked, "all the artists of the past are alive and talking among themselves."

Klage Er war mein Nord, mein Süd, mein Ost und West, Meine Arbeitswoche und mein Sonntagsfest, Mein Gespräch, mein Lied, mein Tag, meine Nacht, Ich dachte, Liebe währet ewig: Falsch gedacht. Die Sterne sind jetzt unerwünscht, löscht jeden aus davon, Verhüllt auch den Mond und nieder reißt die Sonn', Fegt die Wälder zusammen und gießt aus den Ozean, Weil nun nichts mehr je wieder gut werden kann.« Haltet alle Uhren an, laßt das Telefon abstellen, Hindert den Hund daran, den saftigen Knochen anzubellen, Klaviere sollen schweigen, und mit gedämpftem Trommelschlag, Laßt die Trauernden nun kommen, tragt heraus den Sarg Laßt Flugzeuge kreisen, klagend im Abendrot, An den Himmel schreibend die Botschaft. Er ist tot Laßt um die weißen Hälse der Tauben Kreppschleifen schlagen Und Verkehrspolizei schwarze Baumwollhandschuh' tragen.

Auden English-born American poet, whose varied poetic work is some of the most outstanding of the 21st century Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York, England in February 1907 into an upper class family. Eldest of three sons, Auden's father was a physician and his mother a former nurse. Auden enjoyed a warm relationship with his father, and the medical and scientific influence became a motif of his early poetic work, which is filled with recurrent images of disease, healing and the bodily functions. After Auden's college graduation in 1928, he spent a year abroad in Berlin. This came at a time of his life when Auden was becoming increasingly concerned about his homosexuality. Homosexuality was condemned by the standards of his religious upbringing and was a activity was a criminal offence in England. Furthermore, Freud, who Auden read regularly during his college career, suggested that it was indicative of immaturity. In Berlin, Auden was exposed to lifestyle much freeer than that of England and decided to acknowledge his sexual orientation and live by its restrictions and demands. His year abroad was complimented by a variety of other new experiences which had marked influences on the poet's works. He traveled extensively, spending several months in Japan and China, and he served briefly in the Spanish Civil War as an ambulance driver. By the mid 1930s, Auden had witnessed the First World War and numerous other conflicts over ideology. In the Spanish Civil War, he observed first hand the death and destruction that such conflicts could bring, and was appalled at the thought that an entire nation could become indoctrinated with the victor's ideologies. His poem 'In Time of War' shows a detachment from the events of the war, suggesting that Auden considered war objectively and deliberated on its consequences.

Auden: Prose and Travel Books in Prose and Verse: Volume I 1926-1938 W. H. Auden Edited by Edward Mendelson Shopping Cart Reviews Table of Contents This book contains all the essays and reviews that W. H. Auden wrote during the years when he was living in England, and also includes the full original versions of his two illustrated travel books, Letters from Iceland (written in collaboration with Louis MacNeice) and Journey to a War (written in collaboration with Christopher Isherwood). Auden's early prose ranges from extravagant indiscreet travel diaries through sharply observed critiques of writers from John Skelton to Winston Churchill. It includes studies of Communism and Christianity; audaciously wide-ranging essays on literature, psychology, and politics; and writings about gossip, sex, prisons, and schools. The editor's notes include explanations of contemporary and private allusions. The long "Last Will and Testament" written in verse by Auden and MacNeice, which Evelyn Waugh described as a "gossip column," is annotated in full. The book will interest not only Auden's many admirers, but everyone concerned with twentieth-century literature and culture. About the series: In 1928, Stephen Spender hand-printed thirty copies of a small volume of poems by his friend W. H. Audenthe first published book by a man who was to become the dominant literary figure of his generation and one of the century's greatest poets. Sixty years later, Princeton University Press inaugurated an edition of the complete works of Auden, which is intended to serve as the definitive text for all the works Auden published or intended to publish in the form in which he expected to see them printed: his plays and other drama, libretti, essays and reviews, and poems.

Frustration Durch Kugeln, ins Gehirn zu jagen Den Leuten, die mein Dasein plagen; Zu killen, die mir nicht gefallen. Das Schicksal macht uns schwer zu schaffen, Denn ich hab keine Todeswaffen, Einsam und traurig wie's tiefblaue Meer; Laut in der Nacht wie ein Uhrwerk, das tickt; Unsterblicher noch als der Wandrer Ahasver. War je eine Liebe ganz aus und vorbei, Entkam je ein Kuss seiner schuldigen Pflicht? Elefanten und Frauen vergessen nichts. Vergewissere dich, ob du zielsicher bist. Elefanten und Frauen vergessen nichts. Doch Vorsicht, Sohn, vorm Blutfluch der Zwei, Elefanten und Frauen vergessen nichts. Geleit Prinz, einen Ratschlag leg ich noch bei, Elefanten und Frauen vergessen nichts.

Encyclopedia Auden, W. H. u n] Pronunciation Key Auden, W. H. (Wystan Hugh Auden), , Anglo-American poet, b. York, England, educated at Oxford. A versatile, vigorous, and technically skilled poet, Auden ranks among the major literary figures of the 20th cent. Often written in everyday language, his poetry ranges in subject matter from politics to modern psychology to Christianity. During the 1930s he was the leader of a left-wing literary group that included Christopher Isherwood and Stephen Spender . With Isherwood he wrote three verse plays, The Dog beneath the Skin The Ascent of F6 (1936), and On the Frontier (1938), and Journey to a War (1939), a record of their experiences in China. He lived in Germany during the early days of Nazism, and was a stretcher-bearer for the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. Auden's first volume of poetry appeared in 1930. Later volumes include Spain New Year Letter For the Time Being, a Christmas Oratorio The Age of Anxiety (1947; Pulitzer Prize), Nones The Shield of Achilles Homage to Clio About the House Epistle of a Godson and Other Poems (1972), and

Auden Random House, 94 pp. "Art is born of humiliation," said the young Auden to the young hopeful Spender. And we saw in the first of these three essays how he continued to believe this. He thought of the Sonnets as a private record of Shakespeare's humiliation at the hands of both the young man and the Dark Lady, for the sonnets addressed to her are "concerned with that most humiliating of all erotic experiences, sexu-al infatuation." "Simple lust," said Auden, is impersonal, that is to say the pursuer regards himself as a person but the object of his pursuit as a thing, to whose personal qualities, if she has any, he is indifferent, and, if he succeeds, he expects to be able to make a safe getaway as soon as he becomes bored. Sometimes, however, he gets trapped. Instead of becoming bored, he becomes sexually obsessed, and the girl, instead of conveniently remaining an object, becomes a real person to him, but a person whom he not only does not love, he actively dislikes. And Auden adds that "no other poet, not even Catullus, has described the anguish, self-contempt, and rage produced by this unfortunate condition so well as Shakespeare in some of these sonnets."

Auden, W. H. The British-born Wystan Hugh Auden (1907-73) read, owned, and distributed copies of Sigmund Freud 's writings when he was at Gresham's School, Norfolk, in his eighteenth year. His interest in psychoanalysis persisted after he went up to Oxford in 1925 but received its greatest fillip in Berlin in 1928, when he met John Layard, who had been a patient of the American psychologist Homer Lane. Through Layard, Auden became familiar with the theories not only of Lane but also of Georg Groddeck. In these thinkers, as in Freud and D. H. Lawrence , with whom he was already familiar, he found what Humphrey Carpenter has called "a positive doctrine of psychological liberation" (89), which left a lasting mark on his personal life as well as on his poetry and criticism. In his Oxford years Auden had also read Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels , whose political and economic theories he readily assimilated within the framework of Freudian psychology as he understood it. In 1935 he was able to argue that Marx and Freud were both "right": "As long as civilisation remains as it is, the number of patients the psychologist can cure are very few, and as soon as socialism attains power, it must learn to direct its own interior energy and will need the psychologist" ( English 341). Auden was never orthodox in either his Freudianism or his Marxism and moved on to consider other ideologies as the basis for his life and art. The most notableand most durableof these was Christianity, to which he was reconverted in 1940, shortly after he had settled in New York. In

37. Costello Discussion of auden's early poetry and its influence on Elizabeth Bishop. http://projects.vassar.edu/bishop/Costello.html

Bonnie Costello Boston University Auden and Bishop When Ashley Brown asked Bishop about Auden's influence she remarked: "I bought all his books as they came out and read them a great deal. But he didn't affect my poetic practice." She turned the discussion to Wallace Stevens. But when George Starbuck asked her about other women poets, she dodged the question and brought up Auden. Bishop would not be the first poet to evade close scrutiny of her sources. Her enthusiasm for Auden's work, at least, seems never to have ebbed. I believe that his influence was as profound, in opposite ways, perhaps, as that of Stevens', or Moore's, though it has received far less comment. Today I have time only to bring evidence of the influence, not to analyze it fully. (I'll be quoting Auden, but only alluding to Bishop, on the assumption that you know her work by heart, and that you are less familiar with his.) In 1937 Bishop writes to Marianne Moore that she is working on a review ("my first!") about Auden's Look Stranger, which she calls "The Mechanics of Pretense." Bret Millier's biography claims the piece is lost, but Tom Travisano has helped me locate the fragment (the piece is unfinished) in the Vassar library. Thirty seven years later, In 1974, Bishop wrote "A Brief Reminiscence and a Brief Tribute" on Auden for the Harvard Advocate. The Advocate piece resembles the review fragment in that she yields, after a few critical remarks, to ample quotation. Bishop seems to have had difficulty analyzing Auden's appeal. After a page and a half of quotations Bishop concludes the Advocate piece by remarking: "These verses and many, many more of Auden's, have been part of my mind for yearsI could say, part of my life." (Does she say it?)

The year after his birth, the family moved to Birmingham, in whose environs Auden began to develop his lifelong fascination with urban and industrial landscapes. From 1915-20, he attended St Edmund's School in Surrey; it was there that he first met Christopher Isherwood, with whom he would collaborate in the 1930s on three plays and a book. In the autumn of 1925, Auden became an undergraduate at Christ Church College of Oxford University. He started as a student of natural science but eventually settled on English. While at Oxford, Auden met several other undergraduate poets: Louis MacNeice, Cecil Day Lewis and Stephen Spender. After Auden's graduation in 1928 he lived for a year in Berlin where he was joined by Christopher Isherwood, whose stories on Berlin would later undergo a series of changes culminating in the Broadway musical Cabaret. Like most intellectuals and artists of the 1930s, Auden sympathised with those far-left movements that represented the most visible response to the worldwide economic distress and emerging fascism.

Auden Profile Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York but his father, Dr. George Auden, a general medical practitioner, soon took up the post of School Medical Officer for Birmingham and Professor of Public Health at Birmingham University. The family moved to Solihull in 1909, to what was then a village to the south of the city. Wystan retained vivid memories of the area and recalled the journey from Birmingham to Wolverhampton on the train in the poem Letter to Lord Byron The rather unusual Christian name was apparently derived from the fact that his father was born in Repton, Derbyshire, where the bones of St. Wystan were deposited in the Abbey before being taken to Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. The story is that in the ninth century, Wystan, grandson of the King of Mercia, was killed by his uncle and the site of the treachery was marked by a beam of light from the heavens. The place was thereafter called Winstanstow and it lies close to the village of Wistanswick, near Craven Arms, Shropshire. The story is related in an archaeological and historical guide to Shropshire published in 1912 by a certain John Ernest Auden, Wystan's uncle. From the age of eight Wystan was sent to board at a school in Surrey, where he met Christopher Isherwood, and from the age of 13 he went on to Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk. After receiving a degree from Oxford University in 1928 Auden lived in Berlin before commencing a teaching career which was to occupy him for five years.
