Stephen Spender's poetry was necessarily informed by the political situation of the world and the time he spent in Berlin in the 1920s and 1930s. His poems, like the poet himself, are open without being obvious, and rather personal while retaining a world perspective. Later in his life, Spender wrote more prose and criticism than poetry, but it is as a young poet of the Auden school that he will be remembered.
