Biography

About this title

Synopsis

Stephen Spender's autobiography is acknowledged to be one of the most illuminating literary works that have emerged to chronicle the period between the two world wars. In writing it, Stephen Spender was concerned, as he states, with a few recurrent themes: "love, poetry, politics, the life of literature, childhood, travel, and the development of certain attitudes towards moral problems." In the course of the book there are memorable portraits of Virginia Woolf, William Butler Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Lady Ottoline Morrell, W. H. Auden, and Christopher Isherwood, among many others.

Reviews

After being out of print for 12 years, Spender's classic autobiography appears in the wake of the author's plagiarism lawsuit against novelist David Leavitt.

"This is a notable work on the meaning of a man's life and the varied aspects of the world in which he lives," said LJ's reviewer of Spender's autobiography (LJ 4/15/51) in which he serves up not only his own life in the arts but also offers portraits of Yeats, T.S. Eliot, Woolf, and other literary luminaries. The book was also the center of controversy when Spender's homosexual affair was fictionalized in a pornographic novel. Spender sued, and the novel was pulled. This edition contains a new introduction by the author.
