W.H. Auden (1907 –1973) is one of the great poets of the twentieth century. Some regard him as a lesser poet to Yeats and Eliot - we discuss that here - but he was also a prolific writer of prose essays and reviews on literary, political, psychological, and religious subjects. Unlike Eliot, who migrated from America to Britain, Auden did the opposite. His reputation grew after his death as well, which is usually a good sign of merit.
