First published in 1942, Francis Scarfe's Auden and After: The Liberation of Poetry 1930-1941 offers a compelling exploration of British poetry during a transformative decade. Through incisive analysis, Scarfe examines the works of prominent poets, including W.H. Auden, C. Day Lewis, Stephen Spender, Louis MacNeice, Dylan Thomas, and others, highlighting their contributions to modern poetry. With chapters on surrealism, the apocalyptic movement, and individual poet profiles, this book is an essential resource for understanding the evolution of poetic expression in the 1930s. Scarfe’s work remains a vital text for students and enthusiasts of modernist literature and poetry.
