Living in Time: The Poetry of C. Day Lewis

Living in Time: The Poetry of C. Day Lewis by Albert Gelpi
English | February 19, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0195098633 | 256 pages | PDF | 14 MB

The Oxford poets of the 1930s–W. H. Auden, C. Day Lewis, Stephen Spender, and Louis MacNeice–represented the first concerted British challenge to the domination of twentieth-century poetry by the innovations of American modernists such as Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams.

Known for their radical politics and aesthetic conservatism, the "Auden Generation" has come to loom large in our map of twentieth century literary history. Yet Auden's voluble domination of the group in its brief period of association, and Auden's sway with critics ever since, has made it difficult to hear the others on their own terms and in their own distinct voices.
