Popis: The endeavour of modernist authors to ‘make it new’ involved a significant revision of the use of imagery. This paper focuses on W. H. Auden and the ways in which he used the image of the sea. It shows that the contours of the poet’s symbolic landscape changed in parallel with his dynamic ideological development. As a whole, the paper argues that there is a discernible relationship between the two phenomena, which, however, remains to be defined by scholarship.
