Wystan Hugh Auden was born in York in England on 21 February 1907. He moved to Birmingham as a child and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, graduating in 1928. He lived in Berlin for a year but returned to England to become a teacher. His early poetry made his reputation as a witty and technically accomplished writer. He collaborated with Christopher Isherwood, who he had met at school, on a number of plays.
He married Erika Mann, the daughter of the German novelist Thomas Mann, in 1935. It was a marriage of convenience so that she could gain British citizenship and escape Nazi Germany. (Auden was homosexual.)
