N2  - 'In the current time of mounting political tensions, with dark echoes of escalating intolerance, Craig Stephenson gives us an erudite and reflective reconsideration of one of the twentieth century's most gifted poets, W.H. Auden, through an exploration of his WWII poem, 'The Age of Anxiety.' The central but subtle use of Jung's views of the psyche, especially his typology, are shown to be woven through the poem, informing its deepest vision. The influence then ripples out through the musical and dance productions of the poem created by major artists. Internal and cultural worlds interpenetrate in this marvelous study that Stephenson deftly brings to life, not only  in the post-World War 1940s and early 1950s, but in contemporary adaptations, thereby initiating us to Auden's prophetic gift. Stephenson's own creative brilliance manifests through the lightness of his touch.' -Joe Cambray, Ph.D
