Auden by Richard Davenport-Hines

Auden's dedication as a writer was matched only by his commitment to challenging the received view of political and personal life. The definitive biography goes beyond a study of the great poet to create a vibrant and masterful commentary on Auden's work, ideas and life within the context of the wars, ideologies, spiritual quests and sexual attitudes of this century.
'Literary biography at its best' Sunday Telegraph; 'Unless I write something, anything, good, indifferent or trashy, every day, I feel ill' W. H. Auden; 'A refreshing and convincing all-round portrait of the greatest English poet of the last century, warts and all' Independent on Sunday
Richard Davenport-Hines was born in 1953 and lives in London.
