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.

Praise for Auden

A refreshing and convincing all-round portrait of the greatest English poet of this century, warts and all

Independent on Sunday

Davenport-Hines has done Auden the honour of trying to see him whole - as a youth, in the 1930s, in wartime and in that extended afterwards

Times Literary Supplement

Literary biography at its best
