A Commentary on Shakespeare's The Tempest
"It is wonderful to have this new edition of "The Sea and the Mirror," which I have always considered Auden's greatest work written in America and certainly one of the summits of his career. The long speech of Caliban, channeling Henry James, is in itself a marvelment."--John Ashbery "The most significant of all Auden's unpatriotic Shakespearean forays of the 1940s, "The Sea and the Mirror" is a work of enormous skill, learning, and intelligence, a stylistic tour de force that is also freakish, polemical, confessional, and open-ended.
