Review 'this is a most rewarding contribution to Auden studies, setting a high standard for succeeding volumes in a series' John Whitehead, The W.H. Auden Society Newsletter, No.6, December 1990'Undoubtedly the series will be welcomed by Auden scholars ... A good deal of the scholarly work in this volume is done by a group of younger Auden admirers who were active in Oxford in the early 1980s ... The poet is seen working out his ideas in Katherine Bucknell's highly scholarly editing of the original version of Auden's essay 'Writing, or the Pattern Between People' ... this is a volume which all Auden scholars will require to consult.'Robert Crawford, University of St Andrews, Review of English Studies, Vol. 44, May 1993
