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.
