Auden at the University of Kent in Canterbury in October of 1967. As the jacket explains, the poet, chose for the occasion "topics which would, he thought, have been close to Eliot's heart as a poet, a dramatist and a twentieth-century Christian, the first, 'The Martyr As Dramatic Hero', [...] is centred principally on Charles Williams's [1936 play] 'Cranmer', the second, 'The World of the Sagas, demonstrates the light thrown by the sagas on the relationship between the secondary world of art and the primary world of everyday experience; the third, 'The World of Opera', derives from Mr Auden's experience as a librettist; and in the last lecture, 'Words and the Word', Mr Auden addresses himself to the central question which no Christian poet can evade: 'What difference, if any, do my beliefs make either to what I write or to my conception of my vocation?'" Published 25 November 1968 in an edition of 3,000 copies. (Bloomfield and Mendelson A 62) Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
