Publisher: Lexington Books
W.H. Auden at Work: The Craft of Revision delves into the art of revision in Auden's poetry, specifically focusing on his early sonnet sequences, "A Voyage" and "Sonnets from China." It meticulously documents the extensive alterations Auden made to these sequences over a period of thirty years. Auden's observations encompass abstract philosophical musings on the nature of humanity, its inherent restlessness and propensity for conflict, as well as meticulous descriptions of sensory experiences gleaned from his observations and interviews. Alexis Levitin and Joshua Kulseth present the original versions of the poems alongside their revisions, providing a thorough analysis of the changes made, commenting on grammar and syntax while largely leaving the narrative aspects of the revisions untouched.
