He lampooned the Freudian hypocrisy of the Bloomsbury Group, attacked the trendy socialist poets of the 30s and outraged the left by his uncompromising support for Franco's Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War, arguing that Spain's fratricidal conflict was a straightforward fight between Christian tradition and communist atheism.

 Intercollegiate Studies Institute - ISI Books - Unafraid of Virginia Woolf
Roy Campbell (1902–57) led an unquiet life marked by numerous affairs (both real and imagined), brawls (he once attacked Stephen Spender on stage during a poetry recital), and curious stunts (with the help of Dylan Thomas, he once ate a vase of daffodils in celebration of St. David’s Day).
Acknowledged as one of the finest poets of his generation after the publication of his long poem The Flaming Terrapin, Campbell came to prominence in the 1920s when he captured the imagination of the English intelligentsia with his romantic background and controversial style.
