W H Auden: A Centenary Reading

Wednesday 21 February 2007 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Wystan Hugh Auden, one of the most significant and prolific poets and writers of the twentieth century. The British Library and the Stephen Spender Memorial Trust celebrate Auden's centenary with an evening of poetry readings that reflect the enormous breadth and wonderful technical variety of Auden's published output, including both the poems of the 1930's that chart "a low dishonest decade", and his later work published while resident in the United States
