The English Auden: Poems, Essays and Dramatic Writings, 1927-1939

'This volume restores Auden to us complete and unrevised... The reader recaptures the excitement of a young poet who struck readers first by the austere saga-like strangeness of his poetry, and then by his intoxication with disruptive, uninhibited ideas. The English Auden is the resurrection of the body of the poetry as it existed in England between 1927 and 1939.'-Stephen Spender, Sunday Telegraph
