This significantly expanded edition of W. H. Auden's "Selected
Poems "adds twenty poems to the hundred in the original edition,
broadening its focus to better reflect the enormous wealth of form,
rhetoric, tone, and content in Auden's work. Newly included are
such favorites as "Funeral Blues" and other works that represent
Auden's lighter, comic side, giving a fuller picture of the range
of his genius. Also new are brief notes explaining references that
may have become obscure to younger generations of readers and a
revised introduction that draws on recent additions to knowledge
about Auden.
As in the original edition, the new "Selected Poems "makes
available the preferred original versions of some thirty poems that
Auden revised later in life, making it the best source for enjoying
the many facets of Auden's art in one volume.
