Edited
by
Katherine Bucknell
No other twentieth-century poet has left behind such a wealth of early poetry as
did W. H. Auden. By bringing together for the first time all the poems written by Auden
between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one, this book allows a rare look at the literary
personality, development, and preoccupations of a major poet. The collection includes
over 200 poems, most of them never published before, generously annotated with
information on Auden's education, reading, literary concerns, and personal life.
" . . . an indispensable book for the study of modern poetr/."

FORGING AMERICAN
COMMUNISM
The Life of William Z. Foster
Edward P. Johanningsmeier
A major figure in the history of
twentieth-century American radicalism,
William Z. Foster (1881-1961) fought his
way out of the slums to become a
professional revolutionary as well as a
notorious and feared labor agitator.
Drawing on private family papers, FBI files,
and recently opened Russian archives, this
first full-scale biography traces Foster's
early life and also probes the origins and
implications of his ill-fated career as a top–
echelon Communist official and three-time
U.S. Presidential candidate.

THE PSYCHIATRIC
PERSUASION
Knowledge, Gender, and
Power in Modern America
Elizabeth Lunbeck
In the years between 1900 and
1930, American psychiatrists transformed
their profession from a marginal science
focused primarily on the care of the
mentally ill into a powerful discipline
concerned with analyzing the common
difficulties of every-day life. How did
psychiatrists effect such a dramatic
change in their profession's fortunes
and aims? Locating her study in early
twentieth century Boston, Elizabeth
Lunbeck shows how psychiatry became
a pervasive presence in modern life.
