Poet-Critics and the Administration of Culture

In Poet-Critics and the Administration of Culture (Harvard University Press), Evan Kindley *12 examines the role played by modernist poet-critics such as T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden from 1920 to 1950. Kindley argues that these artists established both an artistic and an intellectual identity, as modernism reshaped the way they interacted with governmental institutions.
