Explain the role of Landscape in the Poetry of Stephen Spender.

The THREE poems given as examples are "Pylons", "Seascape" and "I Think Continually". Apparently these poems use Landscape in some kind of MORAL sense? Whatever that means! My essay has to show some general knowledge of 1930s "Audenesque" Style? Hope you can help.

The landscape in the poem, Pylons, depict industrialization. They metaphorically represent a "gateway" to the golden age (progress).
