Roberts, Michael William Edward (1902–48), poet, critic, editor, and teacher of mathematics, whose anthologies
New Signatures (1932) and
New Country (1933), containing work by
Auden,
Day-Lewis,
Empson,
Spender, and others established him, in T. S.
Eliot's phrase, as ‘expositor and interpreter of the poetry of his generation’.
The Recovery of the West (1941) is a study of the ills of Western civilization and
The Estate of Man (1951) shows him as a pioneer ecologist. He also edited the influential
Faber Book of Modern Verse (1936).
