C. Day-Lewis was a major figure in British poetry and culture from
the 1930s until his death in 1972. The Golden Bridle: Selected
Prose takes its title from the myth of Bellerophon and the golden
bridle of Pegasus, which Day-Lewis invoked on several occasions as
a metaphor for the creative process. Day-Lewis as poet is, then,
the organizing idea of this anthology, and the selections indicate
the scope and range of his vital engagement with English life and
letters. Organised into four parts, the volume illustrates
Day-Lewis's reflections on the role and function of poetry in
society and culture; the creative process and the workings of the
imagination as well as the nature of poetic truth and its relation
to science; poets who were of particular importance to Day-Lewis;
and the poetic process in relation to the composition of several of
his own poems. The notes indicate the particular source,
circumstances, and central issues of each piece, to provide a brief
intellectual biography and critical account of this eminent poet's
development and standing.
