Another lovely Penguin anthology, full of terrific discoveries! ( ) This anthology is an essential library book, because it completes the gap between early modern poetry and the pre-WW2 era, focusing on the late twenties and early thirties. The poems are a reflection of the political concerns of the time, engaging with political issues. I liked the poetry centrered on the Spanish civil war, because it shows the growing fear of the rise of fascism and the political stance taken by the poets, their hopes and disillusions. Very good book, used as part of the Open University course A300 '20th C Literature'. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Auden, Day Lewis, Spender, MacNeice and the other key poets of the Thirties were children of the First World War, obsessed by war and by communalism, by the class struggle and a passionate belief in poets as people whose actions are as publicly important as their poems. For them, the Spanish Civil War epitomized the mood of the times, as their symbolic obsessions were transmuted into tragic reality. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
