This is a book about a poet, about a poem, about a city, and about a world at a point of change. More than a work of literary criticism or literary biography, it is a record of why and how we create and respond to great poetry.



This is a book about a poet W. H. Auden, a wunderkind, a victim-beneficiary of a literary cult of personality who became a scapegoat and a poet-expatriate largely excluded from British literary history because he left.



About a poem September 1, 1939, his most famous and celebrated, yet one which he tried to rewrite and disown and which has enjoyed or been condemned to a tragic and unexpected afterlife.



About a city New York, an island, an emblem of the Future, magnificent, provisional, seamy, and in 1939 about to emerge as the defining twentieth-century cosmopolis, the capital of the world.



And about a world at a point of change about 1939, and about our own Age of Anxiety, about the aftermath of September 11, when many American newspapers reprinted Audens poem in its entirety on their editorial pages.

Arvustused

Praise for September 1, 1939:



Sansom has given us a book in which all serious readers of Auden will find something to value. He has chosen exactly the right poem for our times to anchor his thoughts on this man who came to define a generation Literary Review



Richly entertaining explores what goes on in the poem and why it has had such an impact. Shandyesque and magpie-like, scholarly yet frolicsome, the book makes room for all manner of diverse material, to great effect Blake Morrison, Guardian



Praise for Paper:



Engaging and dynamic Andrew Martin, Financial Times



Wonderfully divertingSplendidly dense with fact and thought Steven Poole, Times Literary Supplement



Sansoms scholarship is prodigious; his enthusiasm inexhaustibleHe can make one laugh out loud by his placing of a single word Daily Telegraph



A collection of ever so erudite, witty, chucklesome essays, rich with digressions and asides, on paper, in many of its guises, that seeks to refute and does refute the idea that we are moving towards a paperless world Bookmunch
