Essay Excerpt 

"When W. H. Auden sailed out of Southampton with Christopher Isherwood on January 18, 1939, he was doing more than simply leaving behind friends, family, and a record of poetic achievement that had made him already, at the age of 32, England’s most prominent and influential public poet. When he arrived in a cold and snowy New York harbor a week later, he was embarking on a quest of poetic and self-reinvention that would change the course of both English and American poetry. Auden’s emigration from England, and his arrival in America, marked a crucial moment in 20th-century literary history, when the heir-apparent to T. S. Eliot as the dominant presence in British poetry abandoned his English career and retraced Eliot’s own path back across the Atlantic to start anew."
