W. H. Auden is perhaps the most important English language poet of
the 20th century. He produced marvelous poems-even in his last
days.However, critics and reviewers not only have not recognized
the aesthetics of the poetry Auden wrote after 1965, but they have
ignored or made prejudiced and disparaging remarks about it, thus
diverting subsequent critical (and popular) attention from its
remarkable virtues. The aim of W. H. Auden's Poetry: Mythos,
Theory, and Practice is to clarify Auden's career-long interest in
poetic theory and, above all, to show how his changing thoughts
about poetry impelled him towards the production of the last three
volumes of his verse.Because it links the poet's biographia
literaria and his aesthetic vision, this book will appeal to poets
as well as to students of writing-particularly those interested in
the creative process and its correlation to artistic forms.
Students of 20th-century American and British literature will find
in these pages a comprehensive survey of Auden's thoughts about his
art and the poetry of his predecessors as well as of his
contemporaries. Teachers of Auden's works will appreciate the
strong light such a survey casts on Auden's poetic practice.
Engineers and architects, physicists and biologists, cultural
critics, social scientists, philosophers, and especially Gestalt
psychologists might well enjoy reading about the ways their fields
have intersected and influenced the thinking of one of the
twentieth century's most brilliant and courageous poets.
