Index

The index is divided into two parts: I Works by Auden; II General Index.

I Works by Auden

Individual poems which originally appeared without titles in first editions of the 1930s are indexed by first lines (keyed to initial words). In an effort to minimize the inevitable confusion created by Auden’s later revisions, and more especially by his introduction and alterations of titles, many first-line titles are also entered under their separate titles. Readers are in any event referred to Appendix II of ‘Collected Poems’ (ed. Mendelson, 1976) for an authoritative checklist of variant titles.

A title in quotation marks (e.g. ‘Homage to Clio’) indicates the volume of that title, whilst the same title placed next in order (without quotation marks) indicates the title-poem of that volume.

Long sections or sequences within volumes, such as Journal of an Airman (in ‘The Orators’) and Horae Canonicae (in ‘Shield of Achilles’), are given separate index entries in addition to the individual poems of such sections or sequences.
