Another Time: A Peerless Work of W.H. Auden

Abstract

W. H. Auden is undoubtedly one of the greatest English poets of the twentieth century. He had been a great admirer of Freud since his childhood. He wrote and acted on plays during his school days. Initially a student of science Auden was intently influenced by various other disciplines at a very young age. Philosophy and politics in particular caught his attention right from the very beginning. Auden studied a wide variety of subject during his college days. He was a man of heightened interest in various fields that brought universality in his theme and style of writing. Not only this but Auden also happened to belong to a group of poets who advocated liberal thoughts and ideas in their poems that might bring some effect on the political scenario of their country as a whole. Auden was also a travel lover and many of his poems contain vivid description of the places that he travelled far and wide and the people whom he met there and the impression that they created in his mind. Besides this, Auden was highly sensitive to his surrounding and nature. His education combined with the keen sense of observation and travelling experience has made him a man of stature.
