Louis MacNeice - Jon Stallworthy

'This splendid biography can only help to consolidate the reputation of a poet whose work is in any case preoccupied with autobiography, a ceaseless revisiting and revising of the past . . . Stallworthy's literary judgements are admirable and there is real distinction in the writing.' G. J. Watson, Independent'The result of the most scrupulous research into both the life and the work of the poet. Jon Stallworthy combines deep sympathy for his subject with a cool detachment in observing the man and appraising the work.' Stephen Spender, Daily Telegraph
