› Find signed collectible books: 'Collected Poems'Book summary:To commemorate the centennial of W. H. Audens birth, the Modern Library offers this elegant edition of the collected poems of one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century.
This volume includes all the poems that Auden wished to preserve, in a text that includes his final revisions, with corrections based on the latest research. Auden divided his poems into sections that corresponded to what he referred to as chapters in his life, each one beginning with a change in his inner life or external circumstances: the moment in 1933 when he first knew exactly what it means to love ones neighbor as oneself ; his move from Britain to America in 1939; his first summer in Italy in 1948; his move to a summerhouse in Austria in 1958; and his return to England in 1972.
Audens work has perhaps the widest range and the greatest depth of any English poet of the past three centuries. From the anxious warnings of his early verse through the expansive historical perspectives of his middle years to the celebrations and thanksgiving in his later work, Auden wrote in a voice that addressed readers personally rather than as part of a collective audience. His styles and forms extend from ballads and songs to haiku and limericks to sonnets, sestinas, prose poems, and dozens of other constructions of his own invention. His tone ranges from spirited comedy to memorable profundityoften within the same work. His poems manage to be secular and sacred, philosophical and erotic, personal and universal.
All the poems I have written were written for love, Auden once said. This book includes his famous early poems about transient love ( Lay your sleeping head, my love, Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone ) and his later poems about enduring love ( In Sickness and in Health, First Things First ). The book also includes Audens longer, more thematically varied poems, from the expressionist charade Paid on Both Sides to the formal couplets of New Year Letter ; the darkly comic sequel to The Tempest, The Sea and the Mirror ; and a baroque eclogue set in a wartime bar, The Age of Anxiety.
This new edition includes a critical appreciation of Auden by Edward Mendelson, the editor of the present volume and Audens literary executor.
W. H. Auden had the greatest gifts of any of our poets in the twentieth century, the greatest lap full of seed.
James Fenton, The New York Review of Books
At the beginning of the new century, [Auden] is an indispensable poet. Even people who dont read poems often turn to poetry at moments when it matters, and Auden matters now.

Lectures on Shakespeareby W. H. Auden, Arthur C. KirschISBN 0691102821 (0-691-10282-1)
Softcover, Princeton Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Lectures on Shakespeare'Book summary:After transplanting himself from England to the United States in 1939, W.H. Auden immediately became a kind of academic knight-errant, teaching at five different schools in as many years. Little evidence survives of most of these gigs. But in 1946, Auden gave a course on Shakespeare at Manhattan's New School, and luckily, several of the students attending took maniacally assiduous notes. Now Arthur Kirsch has collated the whole batch--and, one assumes, done some major nip-and-tuck work on this textual nightmare. The result is an insightful, eccentric, and perhaps essential slice of Bardolatry, which tells us as much about Auden as his subject.
Nobody can accuse Auden of parroting the party line on this greatest of English writers. In one of the nuttier moments in the lecture series, in fact, he expressed his distaste for The Merry Wives of Windsor by declining to say a word about it--instead he simply played a recording of Verdi's Falstaff for the perplexed audience. Elsewhere his tendency was to view Shakespeare's creations as flesh-and-blood characters rather than poetic constructs: "If Antony and Cleopatra have a more tragic fate than we do, that is because they are far more successful than we are, not because they are essentially different." He's harder pressed to locate any success stories in Julius Ceasar: the protagonist strikes him as a fading despot, Octavius is "a very cold fish," and Cassius "a choleric man--a General Patton." And sometimes, as in this discussion of Falstaff's role in the double-decker Henry IV, Auden spins off his own freestanding riffs, which amount to short prose poems on Shakespearean themes:
A fat man looks like a cross between a very young child and a pregnant mother. The Greeks thought of Narcissus as a slender youth, but I think they were wrong. I see him as a middle-aged man with a corporation, for, however ashamed he may be of displaying it in public, in private a man with a belly loves it dearly--it may be an unprepossessing child to look at, but he's borne it all by himself.
Auden would return to the Bard's terrain many times in his career, most notably in "The Sea and the Mirror." But for sheer penetration and puckish humor, Lectures on Shakespeare is hard to beat, and demonstrates that for all their differences, both the speaker and his subject had a crucial thing in common--what Auden calls "a fabulously good taste for words." --James Marcus [via]More editions of Lectures on Shakespeare:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Lions and Shadows: An Education in the Twenties'Book summary:In this largely autobiographical book Isherwood gives a fascinating account of the making of a writer. His story begins with the intellectual hothouse atmosphere of Cambridge in the early twenties: but it is his wickedly funny depiction of the Bohemian life of London, with thinly disguised portraits of many brilliant men - Auden and Stephen Spender among them - that is most intriguing. With his witty, appealing and sometimes outrageous pen Isherwood illuminates the society that created writers and thinkers who have shaped much of the twentieth century. [via]

Considered by many to be among some of the greatest love poetry ever written much debate surrounds the context of the poetry.

Regardless of their context, "The Sonnets" can be appreciated individually or as a whole as examples of William Shakespeare's true literary genius. [via]

For more than two centuries the very title of this book has evoked the sensitivity of youth, the suffering of the artist, the idea of a hero too full of love to live. When it was first published in Germany, in 1774, The Sorrows of Young Werther created a sensation. Banned and condemned but embracedespecially by the youngit has continued to captivate.
Now Burton Pikes startlingly new translation expresses as never before all the anguish, ideas, and ardor of this seminal, iconic novel. And his Introduction reveals both Goethes inspirations and his influenceon works ranging from Madame Bovary to Frankenstein and beyond.
Here is the classic story of Werther, a young man seeking the infinite in an art he cannot master and a woman he cannot havethe prototype of the Romantic hero in a work that anticipated the Romantic Age. Here is a bold new look at a masterpiece that has changed lives and, like its beloved hero, will never grow old. [via]More editions of The Sorrows of Young Werther:

Goethe selbst hat die bündigste Inhaltsangabe zu seinem >Werther< gegeben: »Eine Geschichte (...), darin ich einen jungen Menschen darstelle, der (...) sich in schwärmende Träume verliert, sich durch Spekulation untergräbt, bis er zuletzt durch dazutretende unglückliche Leidenschaften, besonders eine endlose Liebe zerrüttet, sich eine Kugel vor den Kopf schießt.«
Nonkonformismus als Rebellion der Gefühle - diese Botschaft des berühmten Briefromans, der innerhalb der deutschen Literatur den Beginn der modernen Prosa markiert, ist heute so aktuell wie vor 200 Jahren und gilt als Schlüsselwerk des Sturm und Drang. Er thematisiert den unüberbrückbaren Zwiespalt zwischen Geist und Natur, zwischen Ich und Gesellschaft, den der sensible Bürgersohn Werther empfindet und an dem er zerbricht. Bei seinen Zeitgenossen wurde Goethes Roman äußerst kontrovers diskutiert, da er darin mit den damaligen bürgerlichen Wertvorstellungen brach und somit bei den Kritikern eine Welle der Entrüstung auslöste.»Es ist ein Meisterwerk, worin hinreißendes Gefühl und frühreifer Kunstverstand eine fast einmalige Mischung eingehen. Jugend und Genie sind sein Gegenstand, und aus Jugend und Genie ist es selbst geboren.« Thomas Mann
Künstlerinformation:Johann Wolfgang Goethe (geadelt 1782) wurde am 28. August 1749 in Frankfurt am Main geboren und starb am 22. März 1832 in Weimar. Sein Werk prägte die Epochen des »Sturm und Drang« und der »deutschen Klassik«. Es umfasst sämtliche literarischen Gattungen, dazu autobiographische Schriften und naturwissenschaftliche Studien. Goethe stand in regem Kontakt zu allen geistigen Größen seiner Zeit und seine Wirkung auf die Literatur ist bis heute ungebrochen. Nicht nur im eigenen Land gilt er als größter Dichter der Deutschen.
