Auden: Prose. v3 1949-1955 / edited by Edward Mendelson Description: London: Faber 2008. 1st edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight. bright. clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new. Physical description; xxxvii. 779 p.; 24 cm. Summary; This is the fifth volume to be published in the ongoing complete edition of Auden's works. under the editorship of Edward Mendelson. It includes the essays. reviews. and other prose that Auden published or prepared for publication between 1949 - when he wrote his first book of criticism. 'The Enchafed Flood' - and december 1955. shortly before he was elected Professor of Poetry at Oxford and began the series of lectures that he published. with much else. in 'The Dyer's Hand'. The texts throughout this edition are. wherever possible. newly edited from Auden's manuscripts. and the notes report variant readings from all published versions. Review: 'The Complete Works. edited with elegant scruple by Edward Mendelson. is the only way to get at Auden as he happened. year by year. bit by bit. and not as he. or his later biographers. want us to think of him.'
