New Collected Poems of Stephen Spender e-bog

Stephen Spender, along with his friends W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice and C. Day Lewis, rose to prominence in the 1930s, writing powerfully of the fear and paranoia of a continent heading towards war. By the time of his death in 1995 he had established a distinguished reputation as a poet, critic, editor and translator. ThisNew Collected Poems, edited by Michael Brett, gathers seven decades of verse fromPoems (1933) toDolphins (1994) and the late uncollected work. Reordering the thematic principle of the 1985Collected Poems, this edition returns to a book-by-book chronology and allows the reader to experience, for the first time, the full development and range of his career.
