Abstract
The ultimate value of the poetry about the Spanish Civil
War rests on its ability to transcend the war itself and show
its pertinence to the larger aspects of human life. The
poetry, whether it deals with political abstractions or
personal emotions, must be applicable to life in general.
The poems of the British writers achieve their universality
in different ways owing to their different interpretations
of the war. With some exceptions, British poetry about the
Spanish Civil War does move past its starting point found in
the War and expresses wider themes. In the end, all the poets
are united by their attempt to portray the continual struggle
of life as exemplified by the particular struggle of the
Spanish Civil War.
