Synopsis

Through close readings of the major poems written during the 1930s by W.H.Auden, Louis MacNeice and Stephen Spender, this study highlights the often creative quarrel in their work between a sense of poetry as autonomous art and an anti-modernist desire to communicate. The book does not allow the poetry to be subsumed within some impersonal historical Zeitgeist; instead it concentrates on the issue of poetic achievement, giving individual poems thoughtful and illuminating attention.
