  • 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.

  • John Lehmann and the Acclimatisation of Modernism in Britain
    JOHN LEHMANN AND THE ACCLIMATISATION OF MODERNISM A.T. Tolley It is easy to see the cultural history of modernism in terms of key volumes, such as Auden’s Poems of 1930, and to see their reception in the light of significant reviews by writers who themselves have come to have a regarded place in the history of twentieth-century literature. Yet this is deceptive and does not give an accurate impression of the reaction of most readers. W.B. Yeats, in a broadcast on “Modern Poetry” in 1936 could say of T.S. Eliot: “Tristam and Iseult were not a more suitable theme than Paddington Railway Station.”1 Yeats was then an old man; but most of Yeats’s listeners would have shared the hostility. Yet, in the coming years, acclimatisation had taken place. Eliot’s Little Gidding, published separately as a pamphlet in December 1942, sold 16,775 copies – a remarkable number for poetry, even in those wartime years when poetry had such impact. John Lehmann had a good deal to do with the acclimatisation of modernist idiom, most notably through his editing of New Writing, New Writing & Daylight and The Penguin New Writing, the last of which had had at its most popular a readership of about 100,000. The cultural impact of modernism came slowly in Britain, most notably through the work of Eliot and Virginia Woolf. The triumph of modernism came with its second generation, through the work of Auden, MacNeice and Dylan Thomas in poetry, and less markedly through the work of Isherwood and Henry Green in prose.

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.

  • Middle Class Recruits to Communism in the 1930S Transcript
    Middle Class Recruits to Communism in the 1930s Transcript Date: Thursday, 7 March 2013 - 6:00PM Location: Barnard's Inn Hall 7 March 2013 Middleclass Recruits to Communism in the 1930s Professor Nicholas Deakin In this lecture I will tell the stories of some young idealists from middle-class backgrounds who joined the CPGB in the 1930s, describe their experiences, examine their motivations and explore some of the consequences of their engagement with the party. Until recently, these 1930s communists have been too easily dismissed as Stalin’s useful idiots or as children of the bourgeoisie suffering from acute class guilt. At best, they are portrayed as blinkered and naive, foolishly adopting positions that they didn't fully understand. At worst, they were faux durs, childishly playing at being tough-minded revolutionary cadres. At times, the dismissal has been brutal, as some observations after the recent death of Eric Hobsbawm demonstrated. In response, Karl Miller commented that “one of the most dismal prejudices to be encountered in Anglo-America has been its worsening failure to imagine how decent people could choose to be communists in the 1930s” (LRB 25.10.12) Similarly, the decade in which they joined, the thirties, is habitually described in Auden’s terms as low and dishonest, the “devil’s decade”, a “dark valley” leading inevitably to the armageddon in the second world war. The narrative arc leads inexorably downwards, leaving little space for laudable aspirations or even the positive achievements of that period - and they were considerable, as Juliet Gardiner has recently reminded us. However, many of the justifications for dismissing this generation and their experiences are essentially cold war arguments.

  • John Sommerfield and Mass-Observation
    131 John Sommerfield and Mass-Observation Nick Hubble Brunel University When the name of John Sommerfield (1908-1991) appears in a work of literary criticism it is usually either in connection with a specific reference to May Day, his experimental proletarian novel of 1936, or as part of a list containing some or all of the following names: Arthur Calder-Marshall, Jack Lindsay, Edgell Rickword, Montagu Slater, Randall Swingler and Amabel Williams-Ellis. As part of this semi-autonomous literary wing of the Communist Party, Sommerfield played his full role in turn on the Left Review collective in the 1930s, in various writers’ groups such as the Ralph Fox Group of the 1930s and the Realist Writers’ Group launched in early 1940, and on the editorial commission of Our Time in the late 1940s, before leaving the Party in 1956. However, significantly for the argument that follows concerning Sommerfield’s capacity to record the intersubjective quality of social existence, he was as much known for his pub going and camaraderie as his politics, with Dylan Thomas once saying “if all the party members were like John Sommerfield, I’d join on the spot” (Croft 66). Doris Lessing came to know him in the early 1950s, after he approached her to join the current incarnation of the Communist Party Writers’ Group, and she describes him fondly in her memoirs: “He was a tall, lean man, pipe- smoking, who would allow to fall from unsmiling lips surreal diagnoses of the world he lived in, while his eyes insisted he was deeply serious.
