W. H. Auden represents an important example of a twentieth-century poet who has developed his style and technique under the influence of traditional and modernistic ideas. Though Auden's poetic stance is a modern one, he is an interesting example of a contemporary writer whose fascination for Romanticism is reflected in his work. This thesis looks at the influence of Romanticism and Modernism in his short poetry.
