The Dyer's Hand

The Dyer's Hand and other essays is a prose book by W. H. Auden, published in 1962.

The book contains a selection of essays, reviews, and collections of aphorisms and notes written by Auden from the early 1950s through 1962. Many items were not previously published; others appeared in revised form. Many of the essays are revised versions of Auden's lectures as Professor of Poetry at Oxford University, 1956-61, and includes Auden's inaugural lecture, "Making, Knowing and Judging".

The book is dedicated to Auden's tutor at Oxford, Nevill Coghill.
