In this book, Albert Gelpi, a distinguished scholar of poetry, offers the first critical study of C. Day Lewis's oeuvre. Gelpi argues that, striking as the work of the 1930s remains, much of C. Day Lewis's best work came during and after the war in the 1940s and in his last years. This book is an eloquent introduction to C. Day Lewis's work and a compelling argument for his status as one of the important British poets of this century.
