ANOTHER TIME (FABER 90TH)

Another Time was the first volume that Auden published after leaving for America in January 1939. The poems are about people, places and the intellectual climate of the times, and they show greater variety of tone and technique than in any previous book of Auden's. Some of his most famous and oft-quoted (or misquoted) lines appear in their original form, including the text of two poems in particular - 'Spain 1937' and 'September 1,1939' - that he later altered or repudiated.
