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 publically 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. But from within their strongly defined unity of ideals, an astonishingly varied body of poetry emerged.

Robin Skelton has arranged the poetry to make an illuminating ‘critical essay’ of the period, and in his introduction he brilliantly probes the moods and mores of an intensely troubled and creative decade.

About the author

Hayden Ahlbrandt, LPC, is a synergetic play therapist supervisor and dad of three who helps kids and adults make sense of emotions and behaviors. He believes that when we understand what’s happening, both for our kids and ourselves, it helps us respond more intentionally with connection, compassion, and playfulness. When he’s not talking about emotions, Hayden is spending time with his wife, chasing after his kids, playing beach volleyball, and exploring the world with his family.
