Auden and Documentary in the 1930s FROM THE PUBLISHER
Writer W.H. Auden emerged as the defining literary voice of the 1930s while the documentary genre emerged as the decade's principal discourse of social reality. Restoring to Auden's canon the commentaries he wrote for documentary films and the photographs he published in his documentary travelogues, Marsha Bryant examines this cultural convergence and Auden's influence as a homosexual.
