Description: A collection of poems by W.H. Auden (1907- ), an English poet and dramatist whose most influential work was written during the 1930s. He was the best known of a group of British writers of Marxist sympathies who hoped that socialism might be the answer to the economic and political problems of the period. In 1939, he immigrated to America and later became a U.S. citizen, and Christianity (specifically the influence of Kierkegaard and the modern Protestant theologians) took the place of socialism as Auden's central preoccupation.
