Description

Discover the literary foundations of one of the most significant poets of the twentieth century. Influential Ghosts: A Study of Auden's Sources provides a deep look into the various literary and philosophical writers who shaped W.H. Auden's poetic voice. This study moves beyond simple lists of influences to examine how Auden engaged with the authors he admired. Readers will explore the complex and often ambivalent relationship Auden maintained with his predecessors. By looking at his connection to figures such as Hardy and Kierkegaard, the book explains how Auden apprenticed himself to their work.

It offers a clear perspective on how the works of others informed his creative process and contributed to the depth of his poetry.
