Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The study aims to provide a detailed analysis of Stephen Spender’s verse up to 1935, with particular attention to his use of the language of contemporary political discourse. It examines the interrelation of Spender’s poetry with the literary milieu of late modernism within which it first appeared, analysing the reception of his published volumes and the dissemination of early critical ideas about his writing. The texts which provide the basis for the study are Nine Experiments (1928), Twenty Poems (1930), Poems (1933/1934) and Vienna (1934). Also examined is the concurrent development of Spender’s reputation under the editorship of Michael Roberts (the anthologies New Signatures and New Country) and Geoffrey Grigson (the periodical New Verse), whose disparate analyses of Spender’s strengths identify his conflicting allegiances to socialist thought and to literary tradition. Spender’s subsequent collected volumes include revised versions of the 1930s texts, but the historical versions, most notably Poems (1933) and the expanded edition (1934) possess a demonstrable thematic integrity that is inextricably related to the political and literary discourse of the time; their historical pertinence is disrupted by Spender’s later revision and re-organisation of the poems. Although there have been numerous comparative studies of the work of 1930s authors, and two studies of Stephen Spender’s oeuvre, this is the first comprehensive close analysis of the early poetry with which his reputation was established, and it is the first to prioritise the original published volume texts rather than the revised versions of Collected Poems 1928-1953 and Collected Poems 1928-1985. This study seeks to establish the literary-historical and aesthetic primacy of the 1930s versions (which are currently out of print) and argues that, despite Spender’s own subsequent reservations about his 1930s politics, his poems exhibit a unique confluence of traditionalist literary aspiration with revolutionary ideology; these versions are valuable because of the inconsistencies and paradoxical logic which are characteristic of the period. Scholars of 1930s poetry and of Spender’s verse career require access to these texts, which provide the only accurate representation of his creative development, and which reflect contemporary concerns that are obscured by later revisions. Of course, the poet’s right to preserve his work in a certain form - or to discard it - is not disputed, rather this is an editorial acknowledgement of the claims of textual history.

To my parents and family for unconditional support and patience. December 2001 1. Critical Approach to the 1930s 1. Critical Approach to the 1930s In recent years, a minor literary critical struggle has been taking place. The region under dispute is best termed “British Literature of the 1930s” - although, unsurprisingly, a major contention is the definition, and the usefulness, of this restricting term. This struggle over a terrain of texts of various forms (which was produced by a host of writers equally in conflict with their contemporaries) is, as Karl Marx would gladly observe, a political struggle. It is a very British literary critical struggle concerning a notion still dominant in the operation of criticism in this country - the unspoken politics of the literary canon: the canon of the nation and all its histoiicised writers “worthy” of study, and also the biographical oeuvres of individual writers. There are many disagreements, perhaps impossible to resolve. Most fundamental^ perhaps, is the question of whether or not the 1930s should be isolated, even for the purposes of discussion. It is the decade which saw the continuation of a global, post-war economic depression which had begun in the 1920s; the gradual rise of the Nazi Party in Germany which culminated in their taking power in 1933 and forcing the world into war in 1939; the flirtation of the intellectuals with communism while calling for the British government to take a more internationalist perspective on the continental threat. It is a decade which is manifestly transitional and in between - in between wars, in between crises, in between more distinct cultural eras. The socio- historical processes which saw the ideological flurry of British literature in the 1930s had started long before the decade itself, reached their most extreme culmination after it had ended, and were largely instigated and driven by international forces which lay outside the country and its domestic culture. This critical debate then, which is attempting to limit itself to literature of this particular duration of time and geographical location, unsurprisingly finds itself confronted with a host of troubling - and perhaps, from an imagined, distant perspective of the 1930s themselves - rather familiar issues. The most significant issue appears to be this: How is literature which is openly propagandist, or at least explicitly sympathetic to a political cause, to be judged as literatureper se by the reader of the early twenty-first century? In terms of literary genre, this question is far more 5 1. Critical Approach to the 1930s troublesome in the appreciation and analysis of lyrical verse than in the reading of 1930s fiction; in the latter, narratives which allude to current affairs seem to attain allegorical status in later periods by virtue of their superficial historicity. In other words, the period details of prose fiction tend to become stylistic traits as opposed to thematic content. There is a substantial difference between a Graham Greene novel, such as It's a Battlefield (1934), which absorbs the daily realities of Communist Party meetings and fascist parades, deploying them within the backdrop of a Conradian London, and Stephen Spender’s poem “Van der Lubbe”, which, after seventy years, can only yield its meaning - as a haunting sketch of the duped arsonist of the Reichstag - with a small degree of historical glossing. Part of the meaning of this poem is not now merely its contemporary pertinence, but its historical portentousness; the Reichstag Fire and the ensuing anti-communist show-trial were the first international signals of Hitler’s imminent consolidation of power. The terrorist attack was an early and hotly-debated “media event” across Europe, the perpetrator

  • Why Memorialize? Stephen Spender's Aesthetics of Remembrance in Vienna
    WHY MEMORIALIZE? STEPHEN SPENDER’S AESTHETICS OF REMEMBRANCE IN VIENNA* Esther Sánchez-Pardo González Universidad Complutense de Madrid ASBTRACT Drawing from current theorization on aesthetics and from the heated debates of the repre- sentation of war and violence in arts, humanities and the media, this paper engages with the issue of art (and literature) and its condition in the world today, always at risk of mask- ing the extremity or reality of suffering, either by suffocating it or assimilating it and turn- ing it into an object of pleasure for the reader or spectator. With a reflection on issues on mourning and trauma, and within the domain of cultural memory, we take Stephen Spender’s poetry, and his long poem Vienna (1934), as a prime exponent of cultural production where loss and its aftermath—crucial as well in subject formation—becomes constitutive of the aesthetic, formal, and material properties of a good number of poems. KEY WORDS: War poetry, Stephen Spender, mourning, cultural memory, melancholia, trauma. RESUMEN A partir de la teorización actual sobre estética y de los acalorados debates sobre la represen- tación de la guerra y la violencia en las artes, las humanidades y los medios de difusión, este 39 artículo incide en la problemática de la representación de todas estas cuestiones en el arte y la literatura en la actualidad. Arte y literatura corren el riesgo de enmascarar situaciones extremas de sufrimiento, bien acallándolas, bien asimilándolas y convirtiéndolas en objeto placentero para ser observado y examinado por lectores y espectadores. A través de una reflexión sobre cuestiones de duelo y trauma, y dentro del marco de la memoria cultural, ilustramos estos debates mediante la poesía de Stephen Spender, y en concreto, de su poe- ma largo Vienna (1934) como exponente de primer orden en el que la pérdida y sus secuelas —cruciales también en la formación de la subjetividad—se convierten en constitutivas de la propiedades estéticas, formales y materiales de éste y otros volúmenes del mismo autor.

  • 'I Should Want Nothing More': Edward Thomas and Simplicity
    Journal of the British Academy, 7, 89–121. DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/007.089 Posted 4 November 2019. © The British Academy 2019 ‘I should want nothing more’: Edward Thomas and simplicity Chatterton Lecture on Poetry read 1 November 2018 GUY CUTHBERTSON Abstract: In the years before the First World War, the ‘Simple Life’ became somewhat fashionable, and Edward Thomas (1878–1917) was one of those Edwardians who were attracted to simplicity, both as a way of life and as a way of writing. As a book reviewer and biographer, he greatly admired simplicity in literature (as seen in, among others, William Cobbett, W. H. Davies, J. M. Synge and Robert Frost). His prose moved towards plainness, and his poetry is beautifully simple. This simplicity has been problematic, however. His poetry is unsuited to the decoding and exegesis (which might be suited to Modernism) that universities seek to conduct. Academics studying his poetry have allowed themselves to believe that they have found complexity, hidden beneath superficial simplicity, whereas in fact Thomas is a poet of genuine bareness, clear-as-glass honesty, magical brevity and childlike simplicity. His simplicity has been popular, and seems to suit some 21st-century fashions. Keywords: the Simple Life, simplicity, complexity, Edwardians, universities, First World War, Modernism, Robert Frost, William Cobbett, J. M. Synge In the decade or so before the First World War, simplicity became somewhat fashionable—indeed it was a religion for some. This craze is captured rather wonderfully in the Edwardian hit musical The Arcadians (1909), where the central character is given the name ‘Simplicitas’, idyllic Arcady is recreated in London at a successful new health food restaurant and men are ‘keen as a knife / On the simple life’.1 Although some might want it otherwise, Edward Thomas was part of this atmos- phere.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1. For more on the Romanticism and Classicism debate in the maga- zines, see David Goldie’s Critical Difference: T. S. Eliot and John Middleton Murry in English Literary Criticism, 1918–1929 (69– 127). Harding’s discussion in his book on Eliot’s Criterion of the same debate is also worth reviewing, especially his chapter on Murry’s The Adelphi; see 25–43. 2. Esty suggests that the “relativization of England as one culture among many in the face of imperial contraction seems to have entailed a relativization of literature as one aspect of culture . [as] the late modernist generation absorbed the potential energy of a contracting British state and converted it into the language not of aesthetic decline but of cultural revival” (8). In a similar fashion, despite Jason Harding’s claim that Eliot’s periodical had a “self-appointed role as a guardian of European civilization,” his extensive study of the magazine, The “Criterion”: Cultural Politics and Periodical Networks in Inter-War Britain, as the title indicates, takes Criterion’s “networks” to exist exclusively within Britain (6). 3. See Suzanne W. Churchill, The Little Magazine Others and the Renovation of Modern American Poetry; Eric White, Transat- lantic Avant-Gardes: Little Magazines and Localist Modernism; Adam McKible, The Space and Place of Modernism: The Russian Revolution, Little Magazines, and New York; Mark Morrisson, The Public Face of Modernism: Little Magazines, Audience, and Reception, 1905–1920; Faith Binckes, Modernism, Magazines, and the Avant-Garde: Reading “Rhythm,” 1910–1914. 4. Thompson writes, “Making, because it is a study in an active process, which owes as much to agency as to conditioning.

  • Sidney Keyes: the War-Poet Who 'Groped for Death'
    PINAKI ROY Sidney Keyes: The War-Poet Who ‘Groped For Death’ f the Second World War (1939-45) was marked by the unforeseen annihilation of human beings—with approximately 60 million military and civilian deaths (Mercatante 3)—the second global belligerence was also marked by an Iunforeseen scarcity in literary commemoration of the all-destructive belligerence. Unlike the First World War (1914-18) memories of which were recorded mellifluously by numerous efficient poets from both the sides of the Triple Entente and Central Powers, the period of the Second World War witnessed so limited a publication of war-writing in its early stages that the Anglo-Irish litterateur Cecil Day-Lewis (1904-72), then working as a publications-editor at the English Ministry of Information, was galvanised into publishing “Where are the War Poets?” in Penguin New Writing of February 1941, exasperatedly writing: ‘They who in folly or mere greed / Enslaved religion, markets, laws, / Borrow our language now and bid / Us to speak up in freedom’s cause. / It is the logic of our times, / No subject for immortal verse—/ That we who lived by honest dreams / Defend the bad against the worse’. Significantly, while millions of Europeans and Americans enthusiastically enlisted themselves to serve in the Great War and its leaders were principally motivated by the ideas of patriotism, courage, and ancient chivalric codes of conduct, the 1939-45 combat occurred amidst the selfishness of politicians, confusing international politics, and, as William Shirer notes, by unsubstantiated feelings of defeatism among world powers like England and France, who could have deterred the offensive Nazis at the very onset of hostilities (795-813).

    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.

  • Sharpe, Tony, 1952– Editor of Compilation
    more information - www.cambridge.org/9780521196574 W. H. AUDen IN COnteXT W. H. Auden is a giant of twentieth-century English poetry whose writings demonstrate a sustained engagement with the times in which he lived. But how did the century’s shifting cultural terrain affect him and his work? Written by distinguished poets and schol- ars, these brief but authoritative essays offer a varied set of coor- dinates by which to chart Auden’s continuously evolving career, examining key aspects of his environmental, cultural, political, and creative contexts. Reaching beyond mere biography, these essays present Auden as the product of ongoing negotiations between him- self, his time, and posterity, exploring the enduring power of his poetry to unsettle and provoke. The collection will prove valuable for scholars, researchers, and students of English literature, cultural studies, and creative writing. Tony Sharpe is Senior Lecturer in English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University. He is the author of critically acclaimed books on W. H. Auden, T. S. Eliot, Vladimir Nabokov, and Wallace Stevens. His essays on modernist writing and poetry have appeared in journals such as Critical Survey and Literature and Theology, as well as in various edited collections. W. H.
