H. Auden and Louis MacNeice visited Iceland on  commission to write a travel book, but found themselves capturing  concerns on a scale that were far more international. 'Though writing in  a 'holiday' spirit,' commented Auden, 'its authors were all the time  conscious of a threatening horizon to their picnic - world-wide  unemployment, Hitler growing everyday more powerful and a world-war more  inevitable.' The result is the remarkable Letters from Iceland, a  collaboration in poetry and prose, reportage and correspondence,  published in 1937 with the Spanish Civil War newly in progress, beneath  the shadow of looming world war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MacNeice, Louis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50666257219768,"sku":"9780571283521","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780571283521.jpg?v=1734735804","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780571283521","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
