This is the fourth volume in a complete edition of Auden's works, following Plays, Libretti and Prose Volume I - 1926-1938. The collection of 580 pages includes the essays, reviews and other writings that Auden published or prepared for delivery from the time he arrived in America in January 1939 until the end of 1948. In the following year he wrote his first book of criticism The Enchafed Flood, and adopted a new set of themes in his essays and reviews. Auden addresses himself to every conceivable subject - literature ancient and modern, art, politics, education, philosophy, religion, music, especially opera, and the theatre. The book is an exhilarating experience to read, and as an intellectual feat, and many of the pieces are reprinted here for the first time for half a century. The texts throughout have been, wherever possible, newly edited from Auden's manuscripts, and the notes report variant readings from the published versions.

Volume 5. This fifth 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 his most personally revealing essays, the ones in which he wrote for the first time about the full history of his family life, his sexuality, and the development of his moral and religious beliefs. Among these works are the lightly disguised autobiographies that appear in long essays on the Protestant mystics and on Shakespeare's sonnets. The book also features the full text of his T. S. Eliot Memorial Lectures, Secondary Worlds, and many unpublished or unavailable lectures and speeches. Edward Mendelson's introduction and 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.

Drawing on a rich array of archival sources and historical detail, The Politics of 1930s British Literature tells the story of a school-minded decade and illuminates new readings of the politics and aesthetics of 1930s literature. In a period of shifting political claims, educational policy shaped writers' social and gender ideals. This book explores how a wide array of writers including Virginia Woolf, W.H. Auden, George Orwell, Winifred Holtby and Graham Greene were informed by their pedagogic work. It considers the ways in which education influenced writers' analysis of literary style and their conception of future literary forms. The Politics of 1930s British Literature argues that to those perennial symbols of the 1930s, the loudspeaker and the gramophone, should be added the textbook and the blackboard.
