W. H. Auden was an influential English poet known for his contributions to modern poetry. Born on February 21, 1907, in York, England, he emerged as a leader of the Generation of '30s poets. His early works reflected the socio-economic struggles of the 1930s, while his later poetry, shaped by Christian ethics and moral dilemmas, marked a stylistic shift after moving to the U.S. in 1939. He also wrote plays, literary criticism, and opera libretti, and received the Pulitzer Prize for 'The Age of Anxiety'. Auden passed away on September 29, 1973, in Vienna.
