In 1930, T. S. with the help of. Eliot, Oden published another collection of the same name (poem), which contained different material. The success of this collection deployed him as one of the leading influencers in literature in the 20th century. In the second half of 1930, the poets of Oden reflected their travels of politically torn countries. He wrote his acclaimed anthology, Spain, from 1936 to 1939 on the basis of his first story of the country's civil war.
Oden's early poem, influenced by the Anglo-Saxon language as well as his interest in psychoanalysis, was sometimes puzzle and diagnostic. There were also personal references that most readers did not understand. At the same time it was a mystery that would disappear in his later poetry.
W. 1930s H.

Blair (author of the poetry art of WHO Oden), however, have warned against the personal feelings of Oden in reading his poem: "None of his poems can feel that The speaker is watching himself.
