Auden's celebrated anthology of light verse is packed with surprising finds while also offering a striking rethinking of the poetic canon. Commissioned by Oxford University Press in the 1930s, when Auden's own work was at its boldest, the book caught its original publisher off guard. For it is less a collection of humorous verses than a celebration of the popular voice in English, in which the work of great satirists like Swift and Byron keeps company with ballads, chanteys, ditties, nursery rhymes, street calls, bathroom graffiti, epitaphs, folk songs, vaudeville turns, limericks, and blues. Turning away from the post-Romantic cult of the sentimental lyric, Auden features poetry that is clear, enjoyable, and, no matter its age, absolutely modern. This new edition includes previously censored poems, together with Auden's remarkable introduction and a new preface by his literary executor, Edward Mendelson.

Excerpt from The Book of Modern British Verse This little collection is intended to present to Ameri can readers the character of contemporary British verse. The period has now definitely assumed the name of -georgian. It began with J'ohn Masefield and has grown into the newer blossoming of Seigfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, and Robert Nichols. The late petals of the Victorian ower began to droop under the reign of Edward VII. They dropped to the ground at the first touch of the frosty truth in the sub stance, and the converting concreteness in the expres sion, of The Everlasting Mercy and The Widow in the Bye Street. The new era began with an as sault upon reality and a shock of symbols. And upon it descended the con agration of the world. The sow ing was turned to the surface by a world war. The re-sowing began in the trenches: the first fruits of which are beautiful to the eye but bitter to the taste. What the'full harvest will be no one can say, because the present bad weather of social, economic, and polit ical turmoil is raging over the fields of dream.
