Reviews

The core of the book is Hass on The Tempest and, especially, on Auden's relaunching of it in The Sea and the Mirror. Any admirer of Auden's long poem ... will find much nourishment here, from comments on individual lyrics to reflections on the achievement of the whole. - Literature and Theology
