Auden’s works are subdivided below into Poetry (volumes and individual poems), Plays (including libretti, radio and film scripts) and Prose (volumes, essays, chapters). The latter includes prose passages from ‘mixed’ volumes of verse and prose, where such extracts have individual titles and are discussed separately in the text, and anthologies edited by Auden, whether of prose or verse. Poetry and prose collections and critical and biographical sources are indexed only when they are discussed in their own right, but not when identifying references. Where there are alternative titles both are indicated. The poet himself is not indexed.
