Cecil Day-Lewis. 1904–1972. Cecil Day-Lewis has two contrasting claims on our attention. The first is as an archetypal poet of the 1930s, the first-born, last-named member of the Auden/Spender/Day-Lewis triad, and the only one of those three friends whose commitment to Marxism extended to joining and working for the Communist Party.
Day Lewis graduated from Wadham College, Oxford, in 1927. In Oxford he became part of the circle that gathered around W.H. Auden and helped him to edit Oxford Poetry 1927. His own first collection of poems, BEECHEN VIRGIL, appeared in 1925. Cecil Day Lewis was appointed Poet Laureate in 1968.
A late poem by C. Day Lewis movingly describes Agnes’s loving care, and her eventual exile ten years later on the remarriage of her brother-in-law. After prep school in London, Cecil escaped his father by joining Sherborne School as a boarder.
