Obsessive Images was first published in 1960. Minnesota Archive
Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books
once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions. As Mark Schorer
comments, this is "the last, unfinished work of a distinguished,
well loved critic, poet, and professor." After the death of Joseph
Warren Beach, his colleague and friend William Van O'Connor,
professor of English at the University of Minnesota, prepared the
unfinished manuscript of this work for publication and wrote the
foreword. The work is primarily a study of certain words, phrases,
and images that turn up with unusual frequency in modern American
poetry, especially that of the decades of the 1930's and 1940's,
and which are used in unusual senses, to carry special symbolisms,
or to imply peculiar philosophical attitudes. Since the study is
concerned with such recurring images and themes, many poets of
distinction, in whose work they are not to be found, are left out,
but Professor Beach also discusses the significance of the absence
of these poets. Students and critics will gain insight through this
work into the characteristic attitudes of a generation of poets.
The book is, moreover, a delight to read, reflecting, as it does,
Mr. Beach's own love for the study of poetry. As Professor O'Connor
points out, the tone is much more personal than that of Mr. Beach's
other books.
Making of the Auden canon was first published in 1957. Minnesota
Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable
books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the
original University of Minnesota Press editions. No poet writing in
English is more representative of the intellectual trends of the
thirties and forties than W. H. Auden. British born, Oxford
educated, American by naturalization, and now returned to Oxford to
occupy the chair of poetry, he is widely regarded as the spiritual
guide and keeper of the conscience of the age, at the same time
that he exemplifies the gradual passage from ideological left to
right so characteristic of the period. This study of Auden's poetry
and revisions has far-reaching implications for an understanding
not only of Auden's own writing but that of his contemporaries as
well. Considering that 1945 Collected Poetry as the Auden canon, or
authorized version of the poems, Mr. Beach examines the process by
which Auden selected poems to be admitted to the canon. He shows
that the poet eliminated many that were at odds with his later
style and thought, discreetly revised others to bring them into
line, and, at the same time, left unaltered some of the pieces from
his unregenerate days. Auden's system of selection and revision
reflects the winding course of his thought, and, by tracing this
course, Mr. Beach endeavors to penetrate the poet's diverse masks
in an effort to get at the identity of t he man himself.
