W.H. Auden (1907 - 73) This site, maintained by Professor Eiichi Hishikawa at Kobe University, Japan, contains a biographic sketch of Auden, a bibliography, texts of several Auden poems, and a link to similar pages for other twentieth-century poets.
BIOGRAPHY He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 for his collection The Age of Anxiety, an expression he coined to describe the 1930s. While his early writing exhibited Marxist sympathies and reflected the excitement of new Freudian psychoanalytic thought, he later embraced Christianity and produced sharply honed verse in the rhyme and meter of traditional forms.
