This is splendid literature in it's own right. Davenport has gotten deeply into Auden's life and argues for it's unrelenting energy and pervasive sense of purpose.

A really fascinating portrait of one of my favorite poets, it made me return to my Collected Works, which is always fun, and illuminated a lot of the relationships that Auden alludes to in his work, without feeling like an extended gossip column (which must have been hard.) Not a fluff peice at all it gave me the impression that though I adore his writing and his philosophy, I probably would not have enjoyed spending any extended period of time with Auden the man.
