Over a life spanning the twentieth century, the celebrated writer Stephen Spender came into
contact with - and connected - many of the most influential cultural figures of the era.
Complementing a constellation of artworks by artists linked by personal friendship, family ties, or
spiritual kinship to Spender - from Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud to Arshile Gorky - this
publication is addressed to what he termed the 'shared subject matter' of art and literature and is
replete with archival photos of Spender and his circle.
Featured artists include: Michael Andrews, Hans Arp, Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, Eduardo
Chillida, Lucian Freud, Alberto Giacometti, Arshile Gorky, Philip Guston, David Hockney, Henry
Moore, Giorgio Morandi, Pablo Picasso, Serge Poliakoff, and Yannis Tsarouchis.

A multitude of perspectives - of the walker, hiker, climber, stalker, gun, forager, birdwatcher, and
geologist - are gathered together, weaving varied perceptions of the landscape and revealing the
ways in which these reflect human uses and human desires. By combining poetics, ecology, and
folk-cartography, Finlay's 'place-aware' philosophy offers readers and visitors alike a remarkable
new insight into this evocative and vulnerable landscape.
