[edit] Erika Julia Hedwig Mann

It is strange that we have an article about Erika Julia Hedwig Mann, WH Auden's wife, but no mention of her here. DOR (HK) (talk) 00:35, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

But of course she is mentioned in the article. Simply search for "Erika Mann" on the article page. You'll find her immediately, with exactly the emphasis that her marriage-of-convenience to Auden requires in an article like this one. 01:46, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] "Beat Generation was partly a reaction against his influence"

I'm not sure about this apparently unsourced line of the article: "His manner was so pervasive in American poetry that the ecstatic style of the Beat Generation was partly a reaction against his influence." Ginsberg, I would say, seems like he was influenced by Auden. Auden himself sometimes wrote in a radical style that might seem like a precursor to Beat. I'm not sure though. Could anyone shed some light on this for me? --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 02:25, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
