This sixth and final volume of W. H. Auden's prose displays a great
writer's mind in its full maturity of wisdom, learning, and
emotional and moral intelligence. It contains the full text of the
only book that he regarded as an autobiography, A Certain World, in
which he portrayed himself by selecting and commenting on writings
by others that most affected him throughout his life. It also
features late essays and reviews that in many cases present lightly
disguised autobiographies, among them the most detailed account of
his sexuality, in "Papa Was a Wise Old Sly-Boots." The appendixes
gather lectures and public talks that are otherwise unpublished or
unavailable. Edward Mendelson's comprehensive notes provide
biographical and historical explanations of obscure references. The
text includes corrections and revisions that Auden marked in
personal copies of his work and that are published here for the
first time.
