The Island

War and Belonging in Auden's England

Beschreibung

Nicholas Jenkins explores war, love, and politics in the early works of W. H. Auden, one of the twentieth century's most controversial and moving poets. Auden's poems embraced both haunted meditations on World War I and lyrical visions of English national identity until, in the mid-1930s, he lost faith in the artistic potential of such myths.
