The second volume in the Auden Studies series, 'The Language of
Learning and the Language of Love', focuses on the first decade of
Auden's literary career and considers his experiences both as a
public figure and a private individual. It contains previously
unpublished or uncollected poems and prose by Auden - all with
scholarly introductions and annotation. The volume reveals how
Auden, as poet, teacher, and dramatist, battled with his literary
ancestors, experienced love, and devised a rhetoric to express both
homosexual feelings and artistic impulses. Contributions to Auden
Studies 2 include poems, songs, and a piece of early travel writing
introduced by Auden's new biographer, the historian Richard
Davenport-Hines. Lyrics offered to Benjamin Britten as cabaret
songs are presented by Donald Mitchell, Philip Reed, and Nicholas
Jenkins. Also in the volume is a fascinating array of essays about
Auden by leading scholars in the field, including Stan Smith and
Katherine Bucknell, and the German scholar and close friend of
Auden, David Luke. A further Supplement to Bloomfield and
Mendelson's magisterial Auden Bibliography of 1972 is supplied by
Edward Mendelson. 'The Language of Learning and the Language of
Love' will be of immense interest to all readers of W. H. Auden and
of twentieth-century poetry.
