Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xvi, 495 pp. Very Good+, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) to page edges; in a Very Good+ dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: This is the first major biography of the man who is arguable the most accomplished and honored poet of his era. His innovations and insights are so much a part of the poet's conscious today that we tend to forget how great was his contribution. As part of this unique and special biography there are many letters Auden hoped would be destroyed and poems that have never before been published. Humphrey Carpenter, as he did with his works on Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, again paints a vivid portrait of a great writer, catching Auden's immense charm and extraordinary drive to become the poetic force that he was destined to be. Through his penetrating probe of Auden's journal, notebooks, and letters, he presents the England of the thirties, Berlin on the eve of World War II, and New York in the war years and beyond, along with a host of Auden's friends and lover.s The treatment is sympathetic without being adultory. In some ways Auden may be considered a tragic figure, one whose life was often funny but sometimes shocking and sad. Yet his immense vitality, zest for life, and bursting talent, as this bigraphy manifestly demonstrates, defy so easy a description. As the Washington Post wrote about The Inklings, Carpenter has the "ability to fuse fact with imaginative perception." Literature, Poetry, Biography. yslic.
