{"product_id":"stephen-spender-a-life-in-modernism","title":"Stephen Spender: a life in Modernism","description":"Although often embroiled in contorversy and public debate, Stephen Spender's all consuming passion was literature. At Oxford he became friendly with Cecil Day Lewis, Louis McNeice, W.H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood and with these writers his name will always be associated. This is a serious literary biography which quotes extensively from Spender's writing and shows its relationship to the major political and social events with which Spender became involved and concerned - the Spanish Civil War, the rise and fall of Marxism, the Second World War and the decline of Britain as a cultural and political force.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0715629484\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0715629484.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Leeming, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
