Opis

In this lucid and balanced treatise, Alan Jacobs reveals the true parameters of Auden's change after his move to America in 1939. By carefully examining poems that represent transitional moments in Auden's thinking, he demonstrates the steady qualities of thought and expression found throughout Auden's poetry and shows how, in great art, as in great minds, change and continuity may powerfully coexist.
