The Decadent Immortals of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and The Public Poetry of W.H. Auden
Publisher: Mars Hill Audio
Author: Alan Jacobs
Audio lenght: 2 hours
Literary critic Alan Jacobs on the decadence of Anne Rice's vampire novels and the social themes in W.H. Auden's poetry. Whereas traditionally vampires are portrayed as blood-hungry fiends, Rice's books extol the power and freedom that these immortals enjoy. Jacobs explores the moral and literary consequences of this unabashed celebration of self-indulgence. Then, Jacobs dissects Auden's poetry and explains how the poet returned to the church after realizing that liberal humanism failed to provide answers to the problem of evil.
