Volume Two covers John Betjeman's life from the age of forty-six, when his popularity as poet, broadcaster, and campaigner against the destruction of fine buildings reached its height. At once serious, sparkling, and humorous, he wrote eloquently and passionately on poetry, religion, architecture, and town planning, and letters to his family recorded his adventures in America.

This first volume of the selected letters of the late Poet Laureate John Betjeman covers his life from university days through to his period on the staff of The Architectural Review, as editor of the Shell Guides in the thirties, as Press Attache in Dublin during the War and as an increasingly popular broadcaster and public speaker in the late fourties. The letters, written both to friends and family and to artists and writers such as T. S. Eliot, Evelyn Waugh and Cyril Connolly record Betjeman's passionate interest in poetry and architecture and his infectious sense of humour.
