W.H. Auden
Wystan Hugh Auden was born in 1907 in York, England to George Augustus Auden, a distinguished physician, and Rosalie (Bicknell) Auden. He was educated at St. Edmund's Hindhood and then at Gresham's School, Holt, Norfolk. In 1925 he entered Christ Church, Oxford where his studies and writing progress without much success: he received a disappointing third-class degree in English and had his first collection of poems rejected by T.S. Eliot at Faber & Faber.
In 1928 he moved to Berlin where he was first introduced to the psychological theories of Homer Lane.
