In New York in 1946-7 Auden undertook to lecture informally on all Shakespeare's plays (except Titus Andronicus and The Merry Wives of Windsor) as well as the Sonnets. Since he believed that 'criticism is live conversation' he discarded his manuscript after each session and it is only thanks to his friend and secretary, Alan Ansen, and some other members of the audience, that the text of this brilliant critical and intellectual feat has been recovered. Some passages were later re-worked in The Dyer's Hand but essentially this is a fresh, exhilarating and witty new experience for Auden's admirers, and an extraordinary addition to the canon of Shakespeare commentaries.

Edward Mendelson has significantly expanded his authoritative, chronological ordered edition of Auden's Selected Poems (first published in 1979), adding twenty items to the hundred in the original edition, and broadening the focus to reflect the wealth of forms, the rhetorical and tonal range, and the variousness of content in Auden's poetry, in the confines of one volume. In particular, there are newly included examples of Auden's mastery of light verse: the self-descriptive sequence of haiku called 'Profiles', the barbed wartime quatrains of 'Leap Before You Look', or 'Funeral Blues' itself. Also included are brief notes explaining references that may have become obscure, and a revised introduction drawing on recent additions to Auden scholarship.
