	CHNN, No 15, Autumn 2003: Reviews
		Randall Swingler (1909-1967) was one of the CPGB's most prominent poets, novelists and editors in the two decades or so between the start of the Popular Front period and his resignation from the party in 1956.
		Swingler and his siblings were raised to believe that sensual pleasure was the breeding ground of immorality, and an early poem about his 'Puritan Childhood' recalls how 'the long cold hands of the fl father, Sin/Palpably pressed upon our cringing shoulders'.
		Perhaps the main dilemma of Swingler's adolescence and early manhood was how to square this taste for self-denial, which eventually drew him to the work of the christian platonists, with the induction into the 'Cult of Beauty' which he underwent while a pupil at Winchester.

		His father was a vicar and, after Randall’s arrival on May 28, 1909, his enthusiastic godfather was the Archbishop of Canterbury, Randall Davidson.
		Randall went to Winchester, where he seems to have been popular with the other Wykehamists, then as now a competitive crew.
		Randall’s enormous personal gifts and cash were put at the disposal of the anti-Fascist cause, led then by the Communist Party.

	Culture & politics: Randall Swingler
		The London literary scene was dominated by writers who had spent the war a long way from the fighting, and who believed that the best war poetry would be written by older men.
		Swingler carried on editing radical journals and writing poetry, encountering the inevitable political breaches and disagreements of the post-war period.
		His accessible poetry is a unique record of his times from the romantic communism of the 1930s and the campaigning years of the Popular Front, through the war in Italy and the antifascist victory of 1945 to the disappointed hopes of Cold War Europe.

		Swingler did not disagree with Orwell's underlying argument that a writer must "dare to be a Daniel" against the enemies of intellectual liberty.
		In case Swingler had any doubts about the incipient limits to the right of free expression permitted to communists in Britain, his piece was published with sarcastic marginal annotations by Orwell, who took it as a "violent" personal attack, characteristically accusing Swingler of trying to silence him.
		Shortly afterwards Swingler was fllisted by the BBC, his extra-mural classes investigated and closed down.

	Nicholas Moore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Moore published a literary review, Seven (1938â“1940), while still an undergraduate ( Seven, Magazine of People's Writing, with a complex later history: he edited it with John Goodland; it later appeared edited by Gordon Cruikshank, and then Sydney D. Tremayne, after Randall Swingler bought it in 1941 from Philip O'Connor).
		While in Cambridge he became closely involved with literary London, in particular Tambimuttu.

		Addtionally, there are studies of the lives of the communist lawyer Jack Gaster (of Jewish extraction), and the communist poet: Randall Swingler (a comparatively late recruit to the party amongst this cohort, who joined during the time of the Popular Front and was to become perhaps the most prominent cultural spokesman of the CP).
		It might be thought that Randall Swingler's move towards communism would have been linked to a cultural commitment to European modernism but according to Andy Croft, this was not the case — here there was no link between the artistic avant-garde and the political or transmission line from cultural modernism to 'political modernism'.
		Swingler's communism, Croft suggests, was grounded in 'Christian Platonism, evangelical witness, the public school cult of Beauty and Nature, Wykehamist principles of service' and it 'was always partly romantic and partly puritan' (p177).

		No reason is given for his leaving, or that of the poet Randall Swingler who remained in the party 'until 1956'.
		Hundreds left the party at this time and the reason for Moffat's and Swingler's defection should have been given if the account of their lives is honest.
		The omission in the main biographies is fully made up in one of the last chapters which covers the fate of a number of important Communists, though lesser lights than those in the main biographies, who visited Russia mainly in the 1930s.

		Randall Swingler: ‘The Right to Free Expression’ (annotated by George Orwell).
		Swingler, a minor English Communist poet in his mid-30s, attacked Orwell for writing this article ‘through a fog of vagueness and through a hailstorm of private hates’, equating Orwell (and Koestler) with the anti-Soviet ‘HEARST PRESS’.
		Polemic's editors allowed Orwell to respond to Swingler in sidebars almost as long as the article.

		The movement to which Goddard refers here is the finale, which sets a text by Randall Swingler to be performed by solo baritone and chorus (hence the comparison with the choral finale of Busoni’s Piano Concerto).
		The first performance was given at a BBC contemporary Music Concert on 4 March 1938 with the composer as soloist and with Adrian Boult as conductor.
		Swingler’s text, which exhorts the audience to consider the position of the musician in present-day society, caused some disquiet within the BBC: the Corporation expressed some anxiety as to whether or not to print the text of the finale in the concert programme.

		Bernard Stevens set all nine poems and added, as a coda, Swingler's similarly titled poem from the trilogy's first part.
		Swingler said that The True Dark was in the form of a passacaglia, to which Stevens did not entirely adhere though his song cycle is clearly conceived as a whole.

	Conlon's choices lend color to his BSO week
		Although Britten declined to take part in the Spanish conflict - unlike Auden and some of his other friends, he certainly was sympathetic to the anti-fascist cause.
		His ''Ballad of the Heroes,'' with cheesy texts by Auden and Randall Swingler, may portray war as the Devil's work but he does glorify the dead for ''fighting for peace, for liberty, and for you.'' At the time, his writing for orchestra was both praised and criticized for its brilliance and one can understand why.
		He is painting here with a broad brush, an extravagance that comes close to propaganda.

		The disastrous consequences of such a profound dilution of his style were not apparent to him until much later.
		Principal works of this period include two cantatas Ballad of Freedom and Jet Pilot ; the three-act opera Fantasy Fair with a Brechtian libretto by Randall Swingler; and a number of other socialist anthems, including a Stalingrad Overture, and an Epic for Orchestra on the death of Stalin.
		Unfortunately, such left-wing sympathies merely added fuel to the fire fanned by his critics, and certainly appear to have increased the rapidity of his further fall from favour.

		The effect of this magnificent work in performance would be considerable, given a pianist capable of meeting the intellectual as well as the technical demands of the Concerto and a conductor aware of and indeed sympathetic to the extra-musical sensibilities aroused by the music and text.
		As Swingler's words have it, "Music is the mind-changer, the life-giver": it is my hope that this revolutionary work, impassioned and gripped with conviction and zeal will soon receive its due both in the concert hall and in the recording studio.

		A volume of New Lyrical Ballads (Poetry London Editions, 1945) draws bucketfuls of gap from the void; names like Randall Swingler, Jack Lindsay, Honor Arundel, Arnold Rattenbury, Maurice Carpenter, demand instant oblivion.
		The seizing of a broad, songlike, diction of direct address may possibly remind us of Christopher Logue's songs, or of the frequent quoting of pop songs by John James, Barry MacSweeney, and Denise Riley.
		No one on their own side seems to have the faintest interest in people like Randall Swingler, Julian Symonds, or Jack Lindsay, despite all the time they spent announcing that their theory was the only scientific one, and that everyone else should just do what they said.

		Publishers' blurbs on the covers of mass-market paperbacks often mention that such-and-such a book has been 'long awaited'.
		Mostly these queues of impatient readers exist only in the fevered imagination of blurb writers, but here the publisher could have honestly said that the Swingler biography is long awaited.
		Indeed, most of us thought the book would never appear as we heard tales of this publisher and that publisher rejecting it.
