The Complete Works
of
W.
H.
Auden
Prose and Travel Books in Prose and Verse
Vo lume I 1926- 1938
Edited
by
Edward Mendelson
This book contains all the essays and reviews that
W.
H. Auden wrote during the years when he was living in
England, and also includes the full original versions of his
two illustrated travel books,
Letters from Iceland
(written
in collaboration with Louis MacNeice) and
Journey to a
War
(written in collaboration with Christopher
Isherwood). Auden 's early prose ranges from extrava–
gant, indiscreet travel diaries through sharply observed
critiques of writers from John Skelton to Winston
Churchill. It includes studies of Communism and
Christianity; audaciously wide-ranging essays on literature,
psychology, and politics; and writings about gossip, sex,
prisons, and schools.
The book will interest not only Auden's many admirers, but everyone con–
cerned with twentieth-century literature and culture.

The widespread resurgence of interest in Edith
-.",
Wharton 's career over the past twenty years has restored to
print most of her writing . Yet Wharton's many reviews and essays, literary eulo–
gies, and forewords and introductions have never before been collected in a
single volume. Covering her considerations of fiction and criticism, and embrac–
ing novels, volumes of lyric and dramatic verse, these writings uniquely demon–
strate the extraordinary range of Wharton's critical interests.
A searching and comprehensive introductory essay by Frederick Wegener
places her critical prose in the context of Wharton's career as a whole.
