Philip Larkin, Paperback / softback Book

Philip Larkin Paperback / softback

Part of the Writers and Their Work series

Paperback / softback

Description

Philip Larkin is one of the finest English poets of our time.

His poetic personality - nostalgic, wry, melancholy, ironic, witty and haunting - has appealed to a far wideraudience than that of literary specialists, while also winning the respect of leading critics and fellow poets.

Lerner's study relates poetry to Larkin's life, and to the literary and social environment of post-war Britain; discusses the Larkin persona, and Larkin's relation to literary criticism; and above all seeks to guide readers to a full appreciation of the power and subtlety of Larkin's best poems.
