A central figure in the political and cultural life of our time for over fifty years, Sir Stephen Spender has witnessed and participated in some of this century's most significant events and has known many of its most interesting and gifted individuals.

Auden, T.S. Eliot, Christopher Isherwood, Igor Stravinsky, Francis Bacon, David Hockney, and many others--and set down his ideas, hopes, aims, and regrets. This first paperback edition of Stephen Spender's journals makes for constantly entertaining and illuminating reading.
