Few writers have dominated their time as authoritatively as Stephen Spender (1909-1995). Spender burst onto the literary scene with his first collection of poems in 1933. It was a poetic decade and Spender was, T. S. Eliot declared, ‘The Lyric Poet of his Generation’. Spender, who had spent the early 1930s in Germany, became an engaged socialist and, very briefly, a communist.
