Richard Davenport-Hines


Auden

Category: Biography | Published: 1995 | Review Added: 06-05-2004

Rating: 4 - A top read

A competent, if rather brief, account of the great poet's life. Occasionally I found the author's own personality and opinions intruding on the narrative; there is a proprietorial, almost defensive tone to the book, with Davenport-Hines sometimes seeming to be defying the reader to be critical of Auden.
