Auteur van Selected Poems
Over de Auteur
W. H. Auden, who was born in York, England, on February 21, 1907, is one of the most successful and well-known poets of the 20th century. Educated at Oxford, Auden served in the Spanish Civil War, which greatly influenced his work. He also taught in public schools in Scotland and England during the toon meer 1930s. It was during this time that he rose to public fame with such works as "Paid on Both Sides" and "The Orators." Auden eventually immigrated to the United States, becoming a citizen in 1946. It was in the U.S. that he met his longtime partner Chester Kallman. Stylistically, Auden was known for his incomparable technique and his linguistic innovations. The term Audenesque became an adjective to describe the contemporary sounding speech reflected in his poems. Auden's numerous awards included a Bollingen Prize in Poetry, A National Book Award for "The Shield of Achilles," a National Medal for Literature from the National Book Committee, and a Gold Medal from the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Numerous volumes of his poetry remain available today, including "About the House" and "City Without Walls." W.H. Auden died on September 28, 1973 in Vienna. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Auden: Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets) door W. H. Auden
W.H. Auden, dat is een naam als een klok. Ik verwachtte dan ook erg veel van deze bloemlezing. Maar het is me tegengevallen. Auden is een heel veelzijdig dichter, dat is me wel duidelijk geworden: hij had natuurlijk een lange carrière en ondergang een heel interessante persoonlijke evolutie; dat uit zich in een grote diversiteit aan thema's, en uiteenlopende dichtmethodes (gaande van korte punt-verzen tot lange, vertellende gedichten). Maar toch sprak het me niet erg aan; zeker zijn langere gedichten kwamen erg langdradig over. Natuurlijk zitten er een paar prachtige parels tussen (het klassieke "funeral blues" bijvoorbeeld, en ook het slotgedicht "archeology"). Wat me in deze bloemlezing erg stoorde is dat er helemaal geen context of duiding wordt meegegeven; het is me ook niet duidelijk of een chronologische orde is gevolgd. Van een prestigieuze uitgever mag je meer verwachten.… (meer)
