In the summer of 1936, W. H. Auden and Louis MacNeice visited
Iceland on commission to write a travel book, but found themselves
capturing concerns on a scale that were far more international.
'Though writing in a "holiday" spirit,' commented Auden, 'its
authors were all the time conscious of a threatening horizon to
their picnic - world-wide unemployment, Hitler growing everyday
more powerful and a world-war more inevitable.' The result is the
remarkable Letters from Iceland, a collaboration in poetry and
prose, reportage and correspondence, published in 1937 with the
Spanish Civil War newly in progress, beneath the shadow of looming
world war.
