Modern Poetry (ENGL 310) with Langdon Hammer • This lecture presents the early poetry of W.H. Auden. In From the Very First Coming Down, Auden's relationship to the reader is considered, as well as the role of economy, truth, and morality in his poetics. The political Auden is examined in Spain and September 1, 1939, along with his later practice of revising controversial poems. Finally, his interest in traditional forms, his vision of love, and his characteristic perspectivism, are explored in This Lunar Beauty and As I Walked Out One Evening. • 00:00 - Chapter 1.
