Katherine Bucknell has edited three volumes of Auden Studies (with Nicholas Jenkins) and Christopher Isherwood's Diaries: Volume One, 1939-1960 and his Lost Years: A Memoir, 1945-1951. She is now preparing a third and final volume of Isherwood's diaries.
"Katherine Bucknell has done an excellent job as an editor. . . .
[Auden] would have acknowledged that this is the way scholarship
should go about its job."---John Bayley, Times Literary
Supplement
"Auden's Poems (1930) [is] one of the century's most weirdly
original first books. Thanks to Katherine Bucknell, we can now
ponder in detail how he got there."---Ian Hamilton, London Review
of Books
"As loving and meticulous and informing an edition as any writer,
young or old, could wish for. . . . Watching Auden invent
Audenesque is one of the many joys of this volume."---Valentine
Cunningham, Chicago Tribune
"Containing more than two hundred poems, the book chronicles
Auden's progress from his first verses, written when he was fifteen
years old . . . As one of the most complete and scrupulous accounts
of a major poet's apprenticeship, it offers what amounts to a
series of master classes in the development of poetic talent and
the acquisition of rhetorical skill."
