ISBN: 0679724842 ISBN-13: 9780679724841 Publisher: Vintage OUR PRICE: $19.80 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: February 1990 Annotation: In this volume, W. H. Auden assembled, edited, and arranged the best of his prose writing, including the famous lectures he delivered as Oxford Professor of Poetry. The result is less a formal collection of essays than an extended and linked series of observations--on poetry, art, and the observation of life in general. The Dyer's Hand is a surprisingly personal, intimate view of the author's mind, whose central focus is poetry--Shakespearean poetry in particular--but whose province is the author's whole experience of the twentieth century. |
