Submitted 15 Dec 2016.\u00a0<\/p> <p>\u201cThe poetry of the 1930s generation \u2013 poems written by luminaries such as Auden, MacNeice, Day-Lewis, and Spender \u2013 can be characterised by a freedom of poetic form, a reaction against symbolism, a keen social perception, leftist political sympathies and accessibility of style. These poets foresaw vast social change and aimed to writing truly popular poetry, shared by all; poetry which did not seek to be elitist. They aimed to set up the notion of public poetry: poetry which could contain slang, poetry which did not exclude, poetry which was not private or learned, and poetry which was set against the backdrop of their troubled time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p> <\/td> <td data-celllook=\"65536\"> <td style=\"padding: 18px;\"> <p><strong>Student writing sample:\u00a0<\/strong>Jane Connolly, Assignment 2: Discuss the themes of the poetry post-WW1. 110ENG783 20th\u202fCentury Poetry.
