Another Time was the first volume that Auden published after his
departure to America with Christopher Isherwood in January 1939. It
was dedicated to Chester Kallman. The poems, some of which date
from the early thirties, are about people, places and the
intellectual climate of the times, and they show greater variety of
tone and technique than in any previous book of Auden's. Some of
his most famous and often quoted (or misquoted) lines appear in
their original form, including the text of two poems in particular
- 'Spain 1937' and 'September 1,1939' - that he later altered or
repudiated. '[He] has made himself into a kind of unofficial poet
laureate. If I am bombed I hope he will write a few sapphics about
me.' Stephen Spender, 1941
