'A refreshing and convincing all-round portrait of the greatest English poet of this century, warts and all' Independent on Sunday

Auden's dedication as a writer was matched only by his commitment to challenging the received view of political and personal life.

The definitive biography goes beyond a study of the great poet to create a vibrant and masterful commentary on Auden's work, ideas and life within the context of the wars, ideologies, spiritual quests and sexual attitudes of this century.
