This article, “Auden: Defender at Dusk,” was originally published in an early 2014 volume on W. H. Auden in Spain as part of the Papers de Versalia project on major poets; the previous three poets included in the series, published by Papers de Versalia, were Rainer Maria Rilke, Giuseppe Ungaretti, and Emily Dickinson. Additional American and British writers who contributed to the Papers de Versalia book on W. H. Auden included Edward Mendelson, Jonathan Culler, John Fuller, among others. A reprint of this article by J. Chester Johnson on W. H. Auden was published by Green Mountains Review in late 2014 (Volume XXVII, No II).
