W. H. Auden
This ten-volume edition is the definitive text for all the works W. H. Auden (1907–1973) published or intended to publish, in the form in which he expected to see them printed: his poems, essays and reviews, plays and other dramas, and libretti. The series provides a unique opportunity to solve the numerous textual problems connected with the severe revisions Auden made in his own works. The texts are newly edited from Auden’s manuscripts by Edward Mendelson, the literary executor of the Auden estate. As presented in this edition, they are absolutely clean, with the notes appearing only at the ends of the volumes, along with variant readings from all published versions, as well as previously unpublished drafts or revisions.
