Sensational Discovery: Unknown Letters by Poet W. H. Auden Found in Lower Austria
Around 100 previously unknown letters and postcards written by W. H. Auden to his lover, friend, and confidant Hugo have been discovered in Lower Austria, following after a TV report. Researchers at the Austrian Academy of Sciences are now analysing the correspondence and making it available online – a major contribution to international Auden scholarship and to Austrian cultural history.
📢 Very excited to release v0.1.0 of the "Auden in Austria Digital" scholarly digital edition, funded by @fwf, at @ACDHCH_OeAW of @oeaw.
