JOHNSON, Wendell Stacy - W.H. Auden

Continuum, New York / Literature and Life: British Writers 1990, 175pp. Hardcover with dustjacket. In good condition. "A lost soul; a literary nomad; a voice filled with life, sensuality, and childlike wonder yet heavy with sorrow and the specter of death--this is the essence of W.H. Auden, the man and the poet. This biocritical survey portrays Auden's life through personal anecdote, friendship, and his published and unpublished works. Ranging from drama and political satire to operatic libretti and literary criticism, Auden's themes touch upon the nature of love, faith, healing, and death."Earth, receive an honored guest," wrote Auden in his elegy to Yeats. One might also say Libraries, receive an elegiac complement to literary biography. For general and academic libraries. --Mikey Scott, Torrey Pines H.S., Del Mar, Cal.".
