Autumn Journal
MacNiece, Louis
Written between August and December 1938, Autumn Journal is still
considered one of the most valuable and moving testaments of living
through the thirties by a young writer. It is a record of the author's
emotional and intellectual experience during those months, the trivia of
everyday living set against the events of the world outside, the
settlement in Munich and slow defeat in Spain. 'He completely seizes
the atmosphere of the year of Munich. He tolls the knell of the
political thirties with melancholy triumph.' Cyril Connolly
