Auden, poet & critic, will conduct a course on Shakespeare at the New School for Social Research beginning Wednesday. Mr. Auden has announced that in his course . . . he proposes to read all Shakespeare's plays in chronological order." The New York Times reported this item on September 27, 1946, giving notice of a rare opportunity to hear one of the century's great poets comment on one of the greatest poets of all time. Painstakingly reconstructed by Arthur Kirsch from the notes of students who attended these lectures (primarily from the notes of Alan Ansen, who became Auden's secretary & friend), these reconstituted lectures afford remarkable insights into Shakespeare's plays as well as the sonnets. Published here for the first time, the lectures now make Auden's thoughts on Shakespeare available widely.
