Description
Auden's dedication as a writer was matched only by his commitment to challenging the received views of political and personal life.
This 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 the twentieth century.

Sunday Telegraph praises it as 'literary biography at its best,' while the Independent on Sunday calls it 'a refreshing and convincing all-round portrait of the greatest English poet of the last century, warts and all.' Included is Auden's own powerful sentiment: 'Unless I write something, anything, good, indifferent or trashy, every day, I feel ill.'
