About This Item
London: Methuen, 1987. A. L. Rowse, both poet and a man of letters as well as historian, knew W.H. Auden from the time he was an undergraduate at Oxford and kept some touch with him all his life until his final return to Oxford .From those early days he had no doubt of Auden's genius, and from his own long periods in America he has been able to place the poet's life and work in the double, or perhaps twin, perspective of England and the United States. This book is a personal memoir, and a work of criticism in the best sense. The contents offered cover: (1) The Man (2) The Thirties (3) New York (4) Between America and Europe and (5) Return to Europe: Oxford, Austria. Text block edges show toning. Price-intact dust jacket. This copy remains bright, clean and desirable.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
