<p>"Auden's early poems form a crucial chapter in the history of his imagination. By collecting and annotating these poems with an elegant scrupulosity, Katherine Bucknell has produced a very valuable addition to Auden studies and an indispensable book for the study of modern poetry."<b>--J. D. McClatchy, Editor, <i>The Yale Review</i></b></p><p>"The evolution of a great poet is abundantly manifest here, in a volume essential not only to lovers of Auden himself, but to all who are intrigued by chrysalid mysteries."<b>--John Fuller, Magdalen College, Oxford</b></p>
