As a conscientious objector during World War II he served in the Non-Combatant Corps.〔(Poetry & WW2 : lives of the poets )〕 He edited ''Resistance'', a poetry magazine of just one issue, with David West in 1946. For a period in the early 1950s he worked with Muriel Spark on several books, and was a supporter of hers (together with the poetic eccentric Hugo Manning, a long-term friend), in the Poetry Society.〔Ivan Savidge, ''Hugo Manning: Poet and Humanist'' (1997), pp.51-3.〕 Stanford described Spark's ousting in ''Inside the Forties''. Spark convinced him of the talent of Dylan Thomas,〔Andrew Lycett, ''Dylan Thomas: A New Life'' (2003), p. 303.〕 and Stanford wrote an early book on Thomas shortly after his death. He died in 2008 in Brighton. His widow is the poet Julie Whitby. ==Works== *A Romantic Miscellany (1946) editor with John Bayliss *The Freedom of Poetry: Studies in Contemporary Verse (1947) *Music for Statues (1948) *Tribute to Wordsworth: A Miscellany of Opinion for the Centenary of the Poet's Death (1950) editor with Muriel Spark *Christopher Fry: An Appreciation (1951) *Christopher Fry Album (1952 *Emily Brontë: her life and work (1953) with Muriel Spark *My Best Mary (letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley) (1953) editor with Muriel Spark *Dylan Thomas: a literary study (1954) * Letters of John Henry Newman (1957) editor with Muriel Spark * Fenelon's Letters to Men and Women (1957) editor *Anne Brontë: Her Life And Work (1959) with Ada Harrison *John Betjeman - A Study (1961) *Muriel Spark: a Biographical and Critical Study (1963) *Concealment and Revelation in T.
