Informationen zum Autor Edward Mendelson is the literary executor of the Estate of W.H. Auden and the Lionel Trilling Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University. His books include Early Auden ! Later Auden and The Things That Matter . His edition of W.H. Auden's Prose (Volume III! 1949-1955) was published by Faber in 2008. Klappentext A significantly expanded edition of the poetry collection, which was first published in 1979. 'If I am bombed, I hope he will write a few sapphics about me' Stephen Spender, 1941 W. H. Auden, Selected Poems : '[He] has made himself into a kind of unofficial poet laureate. If I am bombed I hope he will write a few sapphics about me.' Stephen Spender, 1941 Zusammenfassung Edward Mendelson has significantly expanded his authoritative, chronological ordered edition of Auden's Selected Poems (first published in 1979), adding twenty items to the hundred in the original edition, and broadening the focus to reflect the wealth of forms, the rhetorical and tonal range, and the variousness of content in Auden's poetry, in the confines of one volume. In particular, there are newly included examples of Auden's mastery of light verse: the self-descriptive sequence of haiku called 'Profiles', the barbed wartime quatrains of 'Leap Before You Look', or 'Funeral Blues' itself. Also included are brief notes explaining references that may have become obscure, and a revised introduction drawing on recent additions to Auden scholarship.
