Sir Stephen Harold Spender was born on February 28, 1909, in London. He attended Oxford University and fought in the Spanish Civil War. In the 1920s and 1930s, he associated with other poets and socialists, such as W.H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood, Louis MacNeice, and C. Day Lewis, and his early poetry was often inspired by social protest. During World War II Spender was a member of the National Fire Service (1941–44). After the war, he made several visits to the United States, teaching and lecturing at universities, and in 1965 he became the first non-American to serve as poetry consultant to the Library of Congress (now the laureate consultant in poetry) a position he held for one year. In 1970 he was appointed the professor of English at University College, London; he became professor emeritus in 1977. He was knighted in 1983. Spender died on July 16, 1995
