Philip Toynbee
His subject in this programme is the 1930s, which in retrospect seem to constitute a recognisable literary period. He refers in his talk to two recent books by authors who made their names in the 1930s: 'The Shield of Achilles' by W. H. Auden and ' The Corected Poems ' of William Empson.
