W H AUDEN - SELECTED POEMS

THE AGE OF ANXIETY: A BAROQUE ECLOGUE

When it was first published in 1947 'The Age of Anxiety', W H Auden's last, longest, and most ambitious poem, immediately struck a powerful chord, capturing the imagination of the cultural moment that it diagnosed and named. This annotated, critical edition of the poem, introduces this important work to a new generation of readers by putting it in historical and biographical context and elucidating its difficulties.
