520    Between 1927 and his death in 1973, W.H. Auden endowed 
       poetry in the English language with a new face. Or rather,
       with several faces, since his work ranged from the 
       political to the religious, from the urbane to the 
       pastoral, from the mandarin to the invigoratingly plain-
       spoken. This collection presents all the poems Auden 
       wished to preserve, in the texts that received his final 
       approval. It includes the full contents of his previous 
       collected editions along with all the later volumes of his
       shorter poems. Together, these works display the 
       astonishing range of Auden's voice and the breadth of his 
       concerns, his deep knowledge of the traditions he 
       inherited, and his ability to recast those traditions in 
       modern times.
