AUDEN, W. H.
W. H. Auden. A Selection.
With notes and a critical essay by Richard Hoggart.
First edition, first impression. From the library of Stephen Spender with his ownership signature to the front free endpaper. With many corrections and deletions to the text by Auden. Auden's corrections appear on more than 30 pages and range from simple rules to some extensive revision of phases and complete lines. Bloomfield notes, "The texts of this selection have no authority and are all reprinted without revision". Plainly Auden set this right in Spender's copy.
Octavo. Original green boards, device to upper board in blind, titles to spine in silver. A very good copy.
