Historian and humanities professor Bill McClay has an article in the Weekly Standard and the Ethics and Public Policy website, “Grappling with God: The faith of a famous poet.” in which he reviews a new book on the Christian wrestlings of W. H. Auden. It’s an important review of what looks like a solid book.
Also worth noting on Auden is an essay in Alan Jacobs’ Shaming the Devil, a collection about which I’ll be writing more shortly.

When a mind is raised and animated by senses that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman.
