Description:
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2011. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A Fine, Collectible book. First annotated, critical edition, edited and with an introduction by Alan Jacobs. Bright, clean & tight copy. "When it was first published in 1947, THE AGE OF ANXIETY--W. H. Auden's last, longest, and most ambitious book-length poem--immediately struck a powerful chord, capturing the imagination of the cultural moment that it diagnosed and named. The poem deals, in eclogue form, with man's quest to find substance and identity in a shifting and increasingly industrialized world. "[Auden's] most significant piece of work. . . . We have in W. H. Auden a master musician of rhythm and note, unable to be dull, in fact an enchanter, under the magic of indigenous gusto . . . . The Age of Anxiety assures us that fear and lust have, in faith and purity, a cure so potent we need never know panic or be defeated by Self."---Marianne Moore, New York Times
