Question

This work’s opposition between “the watery vagueness and the triviality of the sand” draws from an extremely detailed chart of “antitheses” that the author created to show the “duality of experience” resulting from the loss of Eden. This work’s preface asks “O what authority gives existence its surprise?” This work, in which pre-existing characters deliver dramatic monologues in forms like a villanelle and a Jamesian prose piece, was first published alongside For the Time Being. In this poetic work, a “so good, so great, so dead” playwright does not appear on stage, so one of that playwright’s characters speaks for him in the section “Caliban to the (10[1])Audience.” (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this long poetic work (10[1])subtitled “A Commentary on Shakespeare’s The Tempest,” written (10[1])by W. (10[1])H. Auden. (10[2])■END■ (10[4]0[8])
