In this volume, W. H. Auden assembled, edited, and arranged the best of his prose writing, including the famous lectures he delivered as Oxford Professor of Poetry. The result is less a formal collection of essays than an extended and linked series of observations on poetry, art, and the observation of life in general.
The Dyer's Hand is a surprisingly personal, intimate view of the author's mind, whose central focus is poetry Shakespearean poetry in particular but whose province is the author's whole experience of the twentieth century.
