C. Day-Lewis was one of the leading British poets of the 1930’s, closely associated with his friend W. H. Auden, producing poetry of left-wing political statement and individual lyricism. He worked as Clark lecturer at the University of Cambridge, before serving as Professor of Poetry at Oxford and Norton Professor at Harvard. His poetry career culminated with his appointment as Poet Laureate in 1968, succeeding John Masefield. Under the pseudonym of Nicholas Blake, he also penned the hugely successful Nigel Strangeways novels, establishing his reputation as one of the leading writers of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Day-Lewis’ complete poetry and thrillers, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
